IMPORTANT NOTES
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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
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.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (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 information on
cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this
device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions
of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infini-
tesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless.
However, if you are concerned about this, connect the
ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground.
When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are
unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be
dangerous in the event of lightning)
Battery handling
• Incorrect handling of batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a
battery charger can cause leakage, overheating, fire, or
explosion. Before use, you must read and strictly observe
all of the precautions that accompany the batteries,
rechargeable batteries, or battery charger.
• When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use
only the combination of rechargeable batteries and
charger specified by the battery manufacturer.
985
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display.
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not
always match what appears in the manual.
