• Attach the pad to a stand with care to avoid danger
of pinching the fingers.

• Do not apply excessive force to the sensor located
below the center of the head. Doing so can interfere
with accurate detection, and may damage it.
............................................................................................................
(Add)
• Due to the nature of the materials used in the
sensor, changes in room temperature may affect the
sensitivity of the sensor.

(Add)
• Brushes can be used to play the PD-85 when the
TD-20, TD-12, TD-10, or TD-8 is used as the sound
module. When using brushes, be sure to use nylon
brushes. Using metal brushes will not only scratch
the head, but can also be hazardous, since the tip of
the brush may catch in the mesh of the net.

(Add)
• This unit is shipped from the factory with the head
tension loosened. Be sure to tighten the tension
before use. Striking the head when the head tension
is loose may damage the sensor and head.

(Add)
• The hoop’s rubber portion is one component that
eventually wears out (the more so if numerous rim
shots are performed), and will require replacement.
Rim shots may not be performed correctly when the
rubber portion is worn out. If this occurs, replace
the hoop rubber. Consult Roland Service for more
on replacing the hoop rubber.

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 6–7, please read and observe the following:
Placement
354a
• 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.
355b
• 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.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
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 impregnated 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 defor-
mation.
Additional Precautions
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.
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).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
performing at night and when using headphones.
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.
