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
adapter.
...................................................................................................................................
• Do not attempt to repair the FR-3 or replace parts within
it (except when this manual provides specific instructions
directing 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-3 in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight
in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of
heat-generating 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-3/FR-3b or FR-3s/
FR-3sb vertically due to instability. If placed in the verti-
cal 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-3’s adapter should only be connected to a power
supply of the type described in the operating instructions
or as marked on the adapter’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 dam-
age, malfunction, or electric shock.
...................................................................................................................................
• Do not excessively twist or bend the adapter 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 sup-
plied 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-3 and consult
an audiologist.
....................................................................................................................................
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to
penetrate the FR-3.
....................................................................................................................................
• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken apart,
or thrown into fire or water.
....................................................................................................................................
• In households with small children, an adult should pro-
vide supervision until the child is capable of following all
rules essential for the safe operation of the FR-3.
....................................................................................................................................
• Protect the FR-3 from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
