USING THE UNIT SAFELY

IMPORTANT NOTES 

 WARNING

Concerning the Auto Off function

The power to this unit will be turned 

off automatically after a predetermined 

amount of time has passed since it 

was last used for playing music, or 

its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off 

function). If you do not want the power to be 

turned off automatically, disengage the Auto Off 

function (p. 14).

 WARNING

Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the 

correct voltage

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor 

supplied with the unit. Also, make 

sure the line voltage at the installation 

matches the input voltage specified 

on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors 

may use a different polarity, or be designed for 

a different voltage, so their use could result in 

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

 CAUTION

Keep small items out of the reach of 

children

To prevent accidental ingestion of the 

parts listed below, always keep them 

out of the reach of small children.

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

 

¹

If the batteries run extremely low, the sound 

may distort / interruptions in the sound may 

occur at high volume levels, but this does not 

indicate a malfunction. If this occurs, please 

replace the batteries / use the included AC 

adaptor.

 

¹

If operating this unit on batteries, please use 

Ni-MH batteries.

 

¹

Even if batteries are installed, the unit will turn 

off if you connect or disconnect the power cord 

from the AC outlet while the unit is turned on, 

or if you connect or disconnect the AC adaptor 

from the unit. When this occurs, unsaved 

data may be lost. You must turn off the power 

before you connect or disconnect the power 

cord or AC adaptor.

may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability 

concerning the restoration of any stored 

content that has been lost.
