• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC

adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” leaflet when:
• The AC adaptor or the power-supply cord has

been damaged; or

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been

spilled onto the unit; or

• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise

has become wet); or

• The unit does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance.

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

• In households with small children, an adult should

provide supervision until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for the safe opera-
tion of the unit.

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

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)

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

• 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.

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

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult

with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as list-
ed on the “Information” leaflet.

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

• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken

apart, or thrown into fire or water. 

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

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so

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

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

• Always grasp only the plug or the body of the AC

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

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

• Whenever the unit is to remain unused for an

extended period of time, disconnect the AC adaptor.

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

• 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.

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

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on

the unit.

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

• Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its plugs,

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

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

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor

and all cords coming from external devices.

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

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and

unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 8).

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

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in

your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

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

• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak

and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safe-
ty, please read and observe the following precau-
tions (p. 8). 
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for

batteries, and make sure you observe the correct
polarity. 

• Avoid using new batteries together with used

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

• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to

remain unused for an extended period of time.

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

or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the dis-
charge from the battery compartment. Then
install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of
the skin, make sure that none of the battery dis-
charge 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.

• Never keep batteries together with metallic

objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hair-
pins, etc.

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

• 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.
