USING THE UNIT SAFELY 

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

•  This unit may interfere with radio and television 

reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such 
receivers.

•  Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near 

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed 
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature 
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the 
unit.

•  When moved from one location to another where the 

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water 
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. 
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to 
use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using 
the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, 
until the condensation has completely evaporated.

•  Do not place containers or anything else containing 

liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid 
has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to 
promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.

Maintenance

•  For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, 

dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened 
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth 
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. 
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a 
soft, dry cloth.

•  Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any 

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or 
deformation.

Memory Backup

•  Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s 

hundle or connectors. Rough handling can lead to 
malfunctions.

•  When 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.

•  When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-

absorbent material. Transporting the unit without 
doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, 
and could lead to malfunction.

Handling SSD

Important Performance and Image Data

•  Once a SSD fails to function normally, all data that 

has been stored on it could be destroyed. All SSD 
eventually wear out.
 We recommend that you 
consider the SSD not as a permanent storage site, 
but as a place to store data temporarily. We also 
recommend that you back up important performance 
and image data that cannot be recorded again onto the 
external media that is supported by your device. For 
instructions on how to make such backups, refer to the 
owner’s manual for your device. 
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever, 
including monetary compensation, for the loss of any 
recorded content in the event of the malfunction of, 
or physical damage to the SSD, or for any direct or 
incidental damages resulting from the loss of such data.

Precautions Regarding Setup and Use

•  Certain SSD setup procedures and usage conditions 

may result in the corruption of recorded data, 
malfunctioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be 
sure to observe the following precautions.

•  If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that 

the fan and the side panel air vents remain 
unobstructed.

•  Do not detach the unit or disconnect the USB cable 

while a read or write operation is in progress.

Emergency Procedures

*  The following procedures are to be used as emergency 

measures only, and are not recommended for normal 
operation.

•  If the unit does not turn off following normal 

shutdown procedures, disconnect the USB plug. 
If the unit does not operate normally when it is 
turned on again, it may mean that the SSD has been 
damaged. In such instances, consult your dealer or 
the nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, 
that it may not be possible to recover any data from 
the SSD once it has been lost.  If your device features 
drive check capabilities, use the drive check function 
to regularly confirm that there are no problems, even 
when the device is operating normally.  For more 
detailed information on the shutdown and drive 
check procedures, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
