FR-2/FR-2b
V-Accordion
Using the unit safely
• Before using this instrument, read the instructions below and the
Owner’s Manual.
• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.
• Do not attempt to repair the FR-2/FR-2b or replace parts within
it (except when this manual provides specific instructions direct-
ing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page.
• Never use or store the FR-2/FR-2b in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an
enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generat-
ing equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
•When not in use, do not place the FR-2b or FR-2 vertically due to
instability. If placed in the vertical position on the floor/stage,
ensure that it leans against a stable vertical surface e.g. a wall or
a heavy musical instrument.
• The FR-2/FR-2b’s adaptor should only be connected to a power
supply of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the adaptor’s label.
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also,
make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input
voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors
may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so
their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
• Do not excessively twist or bend the adaptor cord, nor place
heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing
severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and
shock hazards!
• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied
power cord must not be used with any other device.
• This instrument, either alone or in combination with an amplifier
and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound
levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate
for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is
uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears,
you should immediately stop using the FR-2/FR-2b and consult an audiol-
ogist.
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or
liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the FR-2/
FR-2b.
• Batteries must never be recharged (one-way batteries), heated,
taken apart, or thrown into fire or water.
•In households with small children, an adult should provide super-
vision until the child is capable of following all rules essential for
the safe operation of the FR-2/FR-2b.
• Protect the FR-2/FR-2b from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
•Immediately turn the power off, remove the adaptor from the
outlet and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page when:
• The adaptor’s cord or the plug has been damaged; or
• Objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled onto the FR-2/FR-2b;
or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance.
• Do not force the adaptor to share an outlet with an unreasonable
number of other devices. Be especially careful when using exten-
sion cords—the total power used by all devices you have con-
nected 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-2/FR-2b in a foreign country, consult with
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
• The FR-2/FR-2b should be located so that its location or position
does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
................................................................................................................................................
•Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plug-
ging 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-2/FR-2b 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.
