• 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.

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

 

014

 

• Protect the unit from strong impact.
 

(Do not drop it!)

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

 

015

 

• 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.

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

 

016

 

• 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 “Infor-
mation” page.

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

 

019

 

• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, 

taken apart, or thrown into fire or water.

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

 

101b

 

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be 

located so their location or position does 
not interfere with their proper ventilation.

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

 

102d

 

• Always grasp only the plug or the body of 

the AC adaptor when plugging into, or 
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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

 

103b

 

• Whenever the unit is to remain unused for 

an extended period of time, disconnect the 
AC adaptor.

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

 

104

 

• 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.

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

 

106

 

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy 

objects on the unit.

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

 

107d

 

• Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its 

plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, 
or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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

 

108b

 

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC 

adaptor and all cords coming from external 
devices.

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

 

109b

 

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power 

and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet 
(p. 7).

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

 

110b

 

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of 

lightning in your area, disconnect the AC 
adaptor from the outlet.

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

 

111: Selection

 

• If used improperly, batteries may explode 

or leak and cause damage or injury. In the 
interest of safety, please read and observe 
the following precautions (p. 14).

 

1

 

• Carefully follow the installation instruc-

tions for batteries, and make sure you 
observe the correct polarity.

 

2

 

• Avoid using new batteries together with 

used ones. In addition, avoid mixing 
different types of batteries.

 

3

 

• Remove the batteries whenever the unit 

is to remain unused for an extended 
period of time.

 

5

 

• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of 

cloth or paper towel to wipe all 
remnants of the discharge from the 
battery compartment. Then install new 
batteries. To avoid inflammation of the 
skin, make sure that none of the battery 
discharge gets onto your hands or skin. 
Exercise the utmost caution so that none 
of the discharge gets near your eyes. 
Immediately rinse the affected area with 
running water if any of the discharge 
has entered the eyes.

 

6

 

• Never keep batteries together with 

metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, 
necklaces, hairpins, etc.

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

 

112

 

• Used batteries must be disposed of in 

compliance with whatever regulations for 
their safe disposal that may be observed in 
the region in which you live.
