FR-7x V-Accordion
Switching the power on and off
The power-on procedure depends on whether you are
using a battery pack or the FBC-7 Foot Pedal/DC Power/
Battery Charger Unit.
■ Important notes
• Before connecting the FR-7x to an amplification sys-
tem, be sure to switch off both the FR-7x and the
external device.
• Connect the FR-7x’s OUTPUT sockets to the line
input(s) of your amplifier or mixer.
•After establishing the connections, first switch on the
FR-7x, then the amplifier or mixer.
If you are using the battery pack (without the
FBC-7)
Note: Only use the battery pack that either came with your
FR-7x or that you purchased from your Roland dealer. Using
other batteries can severely damage the FR-7x or FBC-7.
Roland assumes no responsibility for damages caused by bat-
teries that have not been explicitly approved. Such damages
are not covered by Roland’s warranty regulations.
Note: When operating on battery power the main page dis-
plays a battery icon that informs you about the remaining
power (three bars means the battery pack is fully charged). The
message “LOW BATTERY. PLEASE RECHARGE!” will be displayed
when battery power gets too low. Replace or recharge the bat-
tery pack as soon as possible (see p. 59).

ditions of use.
