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 in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer) or computer.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the
unit’s memory 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.
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).
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.
561
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-
5; sold separately). By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
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
information on cable specifications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
985
• The explanations in this manual include illus-
trations 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.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny
underside (encoded surface) of the disc.
Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be
read properly. Keep your discs clean using a
commercially available CD cleaner.
