RD-170
Using the unit safely

r
• Do not force the RD-170’s power cord to share an outlet
with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be espe-
cially 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 rat-
ing (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and
eventually melt through.

with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Infor-
