USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING
Concerning the Auto Off function
The power to this unit will be turned off
automatically after a predetermined amount
of time has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons or controls
were operated (Auto Off function). If you
do not want the power to be turned off automatically,
disengage the Auto Off function (p. 28).
Use only the stand that is recommended
This unit should be used only with a stand
that is recommended by Roland.
Do not place in a location that is unstable
When using the unit with a stand
recommended by Roland, the stand must
be carefully placed so it is level and sure to
remain stable. If not using a stand, you still
need to make sure that any location you
choose for placing the unit provides a level surface
that will properly support the unit, and keep it from
wobbling.
Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a
stand
Be sure to follow the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual carefully when placing this
unit on a stand (“Reference Manual” (PDF)).
If it is not set up properly, you risk creating
an unstable situation which could lead to
the unit falling or the stand toppling, and may result
in injury.
WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct
voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor
supplied with the unit. Also, make
sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on
the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors
may use a different polarity, or be designed for a
different voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also,
the supplied power cord must not be used
with any other device.
CAUTION
Use only the specified stand(s)
This unit is designed to be used in
combination with specific stands (KS-18Z,
KS-12) 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.
CAUTION
Evaluate safety issues before using stands
Even if you observe the cautions given
in the “Reference Manual” (PDF), 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
• If the batteries run extremely low, the sound may
distort, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If
this occurs, please replace the batteries or use the
included AC adaptor.
• If operating this unit on batteries, please use
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
Placement
• Do not allow lighting devices that normally are
used while their light source is very close to the unit
(such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to
shine upon the same area of the unit for extended
periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the
keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction,
such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that
is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface
using an equal amount of strength, moving the
cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing
too hard in the same area can damage the finish.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to
make a backup of the data stored within it; or you
may prefer to write down the needed information.
Although we will do our utmost to preserve the
data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs,
in some cases, such as when the memory section
is physically damaged, restoration of the stored

liability concerning the restoration of any stored
content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the
result of equipment failure, incorrect operation,
etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable
loss of data, try to make a habit of creating regular
backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• Use only the specified expression pedal. By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• The usable range of D-BEAM controller will become
extremely small when used under strong direct
sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the
D-BEAM controller outside.
• The sensitivity of the D-BEAM controller will change
depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of
the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust
the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of
your location.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.
