USING THE UNIT SAFELY

IMPORTANT NOTES

 WARNING

To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug 

from the outlet

Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not 

completely separated from its main source of power. 

When the power needs to be completely turned off, turn 

off the power switch on the unit, then pull out the plug from 

the outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to 

connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy 

reach and readily accessible.

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. 16).

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.

 WARNING

Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a stand

Be sure to follow the instructions in the “Parameter Guide 

(English)” (PDF) carefully when placing this unit on a 

stand.
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.

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.

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.

Handle the ground terminal carefully

If you remove the screw from the ground terminal, be 

sure to replace it; don’t leave it lying around where it 

could accidently be swallowed by small children. When 

refastening the screw, make that it is firmly fastened, so 

it won’t come loose.

Take care not to get burned

Batteries may reach a high temperature; please be careful 

to avoid burning yourself.

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.

•  If operating this unit on batteries, please disconnect the AC 

adaptor from this unit.

•  Even if batteries are installed, the unit will turn off if you 

connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet while 

the unit is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC 

adaptor from the unit. When this occurs, unsaved data may 

be lost. You must turn off the power before you connect or 

disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.

Placement

•  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. 

Care of the Keyboard

•  Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, 

and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink 

will seep into the surface lines and become unremovable.

•  Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to 

remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive 

may cause discoloration.

•  To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available 

keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start 

by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe using 

gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not 

to scratch the keys.

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 content may 

be impossible. Roland assumes no 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.

•  The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by 

playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or 

wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause 

annoyance to others nearby.

•  Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). 

By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing 

malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

•  Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but 

this will not affect the pad’s function.

•  Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor.

Using External Memories

•  Please observe the following precautions when handling 

external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe 

all the precautions that were supplied with the external 

memory device.
•  Do not remove the device while reading/writing is in 

progress.

•  To prevent damage from static electricity, discharge all static 

electricity from your person before handling the device.

Ground Terminal

•  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. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which 

is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about 

this, connect the ground terminal (p. 3) 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.”

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)

recording, copy or revision of a third party’s copyrighted work 

(musical work, video work, broadcast, live performance, or 

other work), whether in whole or in part, and distribute, sell,
