In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 4), please read and observe the following:
Power supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is
not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
•When installing or replacing the battery pack, always turn off the
power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have
connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage
to speakers or other devices.
•A battery pack is supplied with the unit. The life of this battery
may be limited, however, since its primary purpose was to enable
testing
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
•Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER
switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been
completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to
turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,
then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this rea-
son, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord's
plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily accessible.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment contain-
ing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the
problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther
away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such
wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or
switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise sub-
ject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or dis-
color the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise sub-
ject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices
that normally are used while their light source is very close to the
unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon
the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or other-
wise harmfully affect the finish.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the or pedal board. This
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce
sound.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling
such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to pre-
vent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the
unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the FR-7x with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and data
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored in the unit's memory, or once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of
data.
Additional precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons,
sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors.
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal
operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume
at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do
not need to be concerned about those around you (especially
when it is late at night).
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-series; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing mal-
function and/or damage to the unit.
•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will
need to use equivalent packaging materials.
Precautions for the included battery
• The temperature range for use of the battery pack is as follows.
Using them outside this range may impair battery performance
and shorten battery service life.
Use (discharging)
: 0~50°C,
Stor-
age
: –20~30°C,
Charging
: 0~40°C.
• Do not use or store a battery pack at high temperature, such as in
strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather or directly in
front of heaters. This may cause battery fluid leakage, impaired
performance and shorten the battery’s service life.
• Do not charge a battery pack while it is cold (below 0°C) or outside
when it is freezing. This may cause battery fluid leakage, impaired
performance and shorten the battery’s service life.
• Do not splash fresh or saltwater on a battery pack or allow the ter-
minals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and for-
mation of rust on the battery pack and its terminals.
