• Protect the FR-1 from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
• Do not force the adaptor to share an outlet with
an unreasonable number of other devices. Be
especially careful when using extension
cords—the total power used by all devices you
have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never
exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension
cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord
to heat up and eventually melt through.
• Before using the FR-1 in a foreign country, con-
sult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
• Batteries must never be heated, taken apart, or
thrown into fire or water.
• DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional
audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a
level that could cause permanent hearing loss.
Damage to speakers or other system components may
result.
• Never expose rechargeable Ni-MH batteries to
excessive heat, such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
• The FR-1 and the adaptor should be located so
that their location or position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation.
• Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power
outlet whenever the FR-1 is to remain unused for an
extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between
the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children.
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the FR-1.
• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet
hands when plugging into or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
• Before moving the FR-1, disconnect the AC adap-
tor and all cords coming from external devices.
• Before cleaning the FR-1, turn off the power and
unplug the adaptor from the outlet.
•Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, disconnect the adaptor from the
outlet.
• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak
and cause damage or injury. In the interest of
safety, please read and observe the following pre-
cautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions
for batteries, and make sure you observe the
correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used
ones. In addition, avoid mixing different types
of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper
towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the
battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To
avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of
the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exer-
cise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge
gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area
with running water if any of the discharge has entered
the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such
as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
• Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance
with whatever regulations for their safe disposal
that may be observed in the region in which you
live.
• Keep any screws, reference caps, the hexagonal
wrench and other small parts you may remove in
a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no
chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
