IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under "IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" and "USING THE UNIT
SAFELY", please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
● Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with
any device that will generate line noise (such as an
electric motor or variable lighting system).
● Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
● Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equip-
ment containing large power transformers) may
induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the ori-
entation 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.
● 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.
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 impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards,
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
● Never use benzene, 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 in anoth-
er MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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.
Memory Backup
● This unit contains a battery which powers the unit's
memory circuits while the main power is off. When
this battery becomes weak, the message shown
below will appear in the display. Once you see this
message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one
as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in
memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with
your dealer, or qualified Roland service personnel.

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 recom-
mend that you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit's memory
in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
● Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the con-
tents of data that was stored in another MIDI device
(e.g., a sequencer) 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.
● A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit dur-
ing 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).
● 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.
About this owner's manual
Parameter names are often abbreviated in this unit’s
display. For example, Chorus Rate is abbreviate as
‘Cho Rate’, The full name of the parameter will be used
in the manual to avoid any confusion.
If a parameter’s value is continuously variable, it will
be shown as being a number from 0 — 127. If, on the
other hand, a parameter value is selectable in discrete
steps, those steps will be shown as 200/400Hz (for
example).
Panel buttons are indicated within square brackets
[r], such as [CHORUS].
Regarding Screen Displays
Where possible, we will use the actual screen dis-
plays for explanations. Keep in mind, however, that the
displays of your unit may vary slightly depending on
your instrument’s settings.
