IMPORTANT NOTES

Maintenance

401a

• 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 impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, 
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry 
cloth.

402

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

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

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s 

memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. 
Important data should always be written down on 
paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken 
to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases 
(such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out 
of order), we regret that it may not be possible to 
restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability 
concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be 

irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the 
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself 
against the risk of loosing important data, we 
recommend that you periodically write down on paper.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the 

contents of data that was stored on internal memory 
once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no 
liability concerning such loss of data.

553

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

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its 
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to 
malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / 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.

558b

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the 

unit’s volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is 
late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the 

box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. 
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging 
materials.

562

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use 

cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this 
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level 
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

928/929

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care 

to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over. 
Prevent damage to the buttons and controls.
