USING THE UNIT SAFELY
3
WARNING
Turn off the unit if an abnormality or malfunction
occurs
Immediately turn the unit 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” page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-
supply cord, or the plug has been
damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs; 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.
Adults must provide supervision in places where
children are present
When using the unit in locations
where children are present, be
careful so no mishandling of the
unit can take place. An adult should
always be on hand to provide
supervision and guidance.
Do not drop or subject to strong impact
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not share an outlet with an unreasonable
number of other devices
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.
Do not use overseas
Before using the unit in a foreign
country, consult with your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor,
as listed on the “Information” page.
Do not use a CD-ROM in an audio CD player or
DVD player
DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a
conventional audio CD player. The
resulting sound may be of a level
that could cause permanent hearing
loss. Damage to speakers or other
system components may result.
CAUTION
Place in a well ventilated location
The unit and the AC adaptor should
be located so their location or
position does not interfere with
their proper ventilation.
Use only the specified stand (s)
This unit is designed to be used in
combination with specific stands
(MDS series) manufactured by
Roland. If used in combination with
other stands, you risk sustaining
injuries as the result of this product
dropping down or toppling over
due to a lack of stability.
Evaluate safety issues before using stands
Even if you observe the cautions
given in the owner’s manual,
certain types of handling may allow
this product to fall from the stand,
or cause the stand to overturn.
Please be mindful of any safety
issues before using this product.
Grasp the plug when connecting or disconnecting
the AC adaptor
Always grasp only the plug on the
AC adaptor cord when plugging
into, or unplugging from, an outlet
or this unit.
Periodically clean the AC adaptor’s plug
At regular intervals, you should
unplug the AC adaptor and clean
it by using a dry cloth to wipe all
dust and other accumulations away
from its prongs. Also, disconnect
the power plug from the power
outlet whenever the unit is to
remain unused for an extended
period of time. Any accumulation of
dust between the power plug and
the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
Manage cables for safety
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.
Avoid climbing on top of the unit, or placing
heavy objects on it
Never climb on top of, nor place
heavy objects on the unit.
CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adaptor with
wet hands
Never handle the AC adaptor or
its plugs with wet hands when
plugging into, or unplugging from,
an outlet or this unit.
Disconnect everything before moving the unit
Before moving the unit, disconnect
the AC adaptor and all cords
coming from external devices.
Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet before
cleaning
