USING THE UNIT SAFELY

° 

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

•  Do not allow lighting devices that normally are used 

while their light source is very close to the unit (such 

as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon 

the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. 

Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

•  Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. 

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys 

ceasing to produce sound.

Maintenance

•  To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is 

slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using 

an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along 

with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the 

same area can damage the finish.

•  The pedal of this unit are made of brass. Brass 

eventually darkens as the result of the natural 

oxidization process. If the brass becomes tarnished, 

polish it using commercially available metal polisher.

Care of the Keyboard

•  Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other 

implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on 

the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface lines and 

become unremovable.

•  Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be 

unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, 

and the adhesive may cause discoloration.

•  To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available 

keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start 

by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe 

using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while 

taking care not to scratch the keys.

Concerning the Care of the Unit (Mirror Finish)

•  The surface of this unit has been polished so as 

to create a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Since this 

beautiful finish is as delicate as that of the highest 

quality, wood-crafted furniture, it needs to be cared for 

at regular intervals. Please make sure to observe the 

following when caring for the unit.

•  For routine care, gently clean the surface using a soft 

cloth or a piano-use feather duster. You must avoid 

applying any force, since even the tiniest particles 

of sand or grit can produce scratches if you wipe 

too hard.

•  If the finish loses its luster, use a soft cloth 

dampened with some polishing liquid to evenly 

wipe the surface of the unit.

•  Avoid using detergents or other cleaners, as they can 

cause the surface finish to deteriorate. This may lead 

to the formation of cracks or other imperfections. 

Also, do not use chemically-enhanced cleaning 

cloths.

 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. 20).

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.

Use only the supplied power cord

Use only the attached power cord. Also, the 

supplied power cord must not be used with 

any other device.

 CAUTION

Cautions when moving this unit

If you need to move the instrument, take note 

of the precautions listed below. At least two 

persons are required to safely lift and move 

the unit. 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.

•  Check to make sure the screws securing the unit to 

the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again 

securely whenever you notice any loosening.

•  Disconnect the power cord.
•  Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
•  Raise the adjusters on the stand (p. 5).
•  Close the lid.
•  Fold down the music stand.

•  Precautions concerning the use of polishing agents

•  Refer to the instructions that came with the 

polishing agent for instructions on its proper use.

•  Use only polishing agents that are designed 

specifically for use on the mirror finishes of pianos. 

By using any other product, you risk causing 

scratches, deformation, discoloration, etc. To 

purchase an appropriate product, please consult the 

nearest musical instrument store.

•  Use the product only on the portions of this unit that 

have a mirror-like finish, and using an even touch, 

apply it equally over the entire surface. If you apply 

more force in one place over another, you risk losing 

some of the luster of the finish.

•  Store in a location that is out of the reach of small 

children. If accidentally ingested, induce vomiting 

immediately. Then, see a doctor to obtain a 

diagnosis.

Repairs and Data

•  Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to 

make a backup of the data stored within it; or you may 

prefer to write down the needed information. Although 

we will do our utmost to preserve the data stored in 

your unit when we carry out repairs, in some cases, such 

as when the memory section is physically damaged, 

restoration of the stored content may be impossible. 

Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration 

of any stored content that has been lost.

Additional Precautions

•  Note when placing a mobile device such as a 

smartphone or tablet on this unit

•  Handle your device with care to avoid scratching the 

unit or the mobile device.

•  To prevent your mobile device from overturning or 

falling, do not move the music rest or the cover.

•  Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result 

of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect 

yourself against the irretrievable loss of data, try to 

make a habit of creating regular backups of the data 

you’ve stored in the unit.

•  Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration 

of any stored content that has been lost.

•  Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•  The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced 

by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a 

floor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care 

not to cause annoyance to others nearby.

•  Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it 

is in use.

•  Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in 

resistor.

Using External Memories

•  Please observe the following precautions when 

handling external memory devices. Also, make sure to 

carefully observe all the precautions that were supplied 

with the external memory device.

•  Do not remove the device while reading/writing is 

in progress.
