IMPORTANT NOTES
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 lter 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.
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn
o the power to all units. This will help prevent
malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other
devices.
Placement
Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing 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 o.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, 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.
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 prevent this from happening. If you do so,
please make sure that the unit will not slip or move
accidentally.
Do not put anything that contains water on this unit.
Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol,
nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe
away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft
cloth.
Maintenance
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit 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
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on USB
memories or written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of
data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry
related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that
it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Using External Memories
Carefully insert the USB memories all the way in—until
it is rmly in place.
Never touch the terminals of the USB memories. Also,
avoid getting the terminals dirty.
USB memories are constructed using precision
components; handle the cards carefully, paying
particular note to the following.
To prevent damage to the cards from static
electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity
from your own body before handling the cards.
Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact
with the contact portion of the cards.
Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock
or vibration.
Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed
vehicles, or other such locations.
Do not allow cards to become wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
Additional Precautions
Please be aware that the contents of memory can
be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction,
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect
yourself against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save a backup
copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory on USB memories.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory
or on USB memories once it has been lost. Roland
Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss
of data.
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.
When you operate the expression pedal, please be
careful not to get your ngers pinched between the
movable part and the panel.
In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for the safe operation
of the unit.
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.
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.
The explanations in this manual include illustrations
that depict what should typically be shown by the
display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate
a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes
newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display
may not always match what appears in the manual.
