USING THE UNIT SAFELY

 

001

 

• Before using this unit, make sure to read the 

instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

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

 

002c

 

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its 

AC adaptor.

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

 

003

 

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts 

within it (except when this manual provides 
specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer 
all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland 
Service Center, or an authorized Roland 
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

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

 

004

 

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct 

sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating 
duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or 
are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); 

or are

• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.

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

 

007

 

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is 

level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on 
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

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

 

008c

 

• 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.

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

 

009

 

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, 

nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can 
damage the cord, producing severed elements 
and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and 
shock hazards!

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

 

011

 

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable 

material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind 
(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
