IMPORTANT NOTES
Additional Precautions
551
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 a DATA card or in
another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, on a DATA
card, or in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
553
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.
554
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
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.
557
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
558a
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).
558c
Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially at night and when using headphones. Although
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by
switching to mesh heads.
559a
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.
562
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
Before Using Cards
Using DATA Cards
704
Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.

705
Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid
getting the terminals dirty.
707
This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash
memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not
compatible.
708
CompactFlash cards 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 (storage temperature: -25 to 85°
C).
Do not allow cards to become wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

* 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.
