FR-2/FR-2b V-Accordion
4. Setting up
Connections
The FR-2/FR-2b has a compartment for 8 optional AA-type batteries. Consider purchasing such batteries when performing on stage.
Using the OUTPUT sockets
The FR-2/FR-2b needs to be connected to an
amplification system. If you are using optional
batteries and need to connect the FR-2/FR-2b
to a PA system or mixer, we recommend using
a wireless system to avoid having to use
excessively long signal cables.
You can also use a pair of headphones (Roland
RH-30A, RH-200, RH-200S or RH-300).
Note: To prevent malfunction and/or damage to
speakers or other devices, always turn down the
volume, and turn off the power on all devices before
making any connections.
Switching the power on and off
The power-on procedure depends on whether or not you are
using optional batteries.
Note: If you decide to use rechargeable AA batteries, be aware that they
cannot be recharged simply by leaving them in the FR-2/FR-2b’s com-
partment and connecting the adaptor. You will need an external charg-
ing unit.
Note: Once the connections have been completed, turn on the power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the
wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers
and other devices.
If you are using the supplied adaptor
(1) Connect the supplied
adaptor to the FR-2/
FR-2b’s DC IN socket.
(2) Connect the adaptor to
a wall outlet that meets
the specifications (see
p. 28).
The adaptor should
only be connected to a power source of the type marked on
its label. For details on the power consumption, please refer
to page 28.
(3) Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio
device.
You can also simply switch it off.
(4) Connect the FR-2/FR-2b’s OUTPUT sockets to the exter-
nal audio device (amplifier, mixing console, etc.).
(5) Turn the FR-2/FR-2b’s [VOLUME] knob A from the
“POWER OFF” position towards the right.
(6) Switch on the receiving audio device.
(7) Start playing.
Note: This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval
(a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will oper-
ate normally.
—To switch off you system—
(8) Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio
device or switch it off.
(9) Turn the FR-2/FR-2b’s [VOLUME] knob A all the way to
the left (“POWER OFF”).
If you are using batteries
The FR-2b needs to be connected to an amplification system
of some sort (unless you want to use headphones).
(1) Install the required batteries into the FR-2/FR-2b’s com-
partment (see p. 27).
(2) Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio
device.
You can also simply switch it off.
