• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC

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 AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug

has been damaged; or

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto

the unit; 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.

..........................................................................................................

• 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 unit 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.

..........................................................................................................

• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming

entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be

placed so they are out of the reach of children.

..........................................................................................................

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on

the unit.

013

• 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.

..........................................................................................................

• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with

wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging

from, an outlet or this unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)

• If you need to move the instrument, take note of

the precautions listed below. It should be handled

carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure

to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury

and the instrument from damage.

..........................................................................................................

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to

share an outlet with an unreasonable number of

other devices. Be especially careful when using

extension cords—the total power used by all

devices you have connected 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.

..........................................................................................................

• Check to make sure the screws or the attached knob

bolts securing the unit to the stand have not become

loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice

any loosening.

• Disconnect the power cord.

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult

with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service

Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as

listed on the “Information” page.

..........................................................................................................

• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.

..........................................................................................................

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and

unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 24).

..........................................................................................................

023

• DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional

audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a

level that could cause permanent hearing loss.

Damage to speakers or other system components

may result.

..........................................................................................................

110b

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning

in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the

outlet.

..........................................................................................................

• Keep any screws you may remove and the

included screws in a safe place out of children’s

reach, so there is no chance of them being

swallowed accidentally.

..........................................................................................................

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so

their location or position does not interfere with

their proper ventilation.

..........................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT

SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the

following:

• 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.

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 filter between this unit and the

electrical outlet.

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.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a

cause for concern.

Repairs and Data

307

452

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions

and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

• 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 a another

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.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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 inter-

ference.

Additional Precautions

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

• 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 in another MIDI

device (e.g., a sequencer).

• 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 initi-

ating 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 off.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

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.

• 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.

• 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.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.

• 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.

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).
