Roland VR-700 important safety instructions Using the Unit Safely

Page 3

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

•Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

..................................................................................................................................

•Immediately turn the power off, remove the power cord 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 power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

•If smoke or unusual odor occurs

•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.

..................................................................................................................................

•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.

..................................................................................................................................

•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 put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

•The unit should be located so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

..................................................................................................................................

•This (VR-700) for use only with Roland stand KS-G8. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

..................................................................................................................................

•Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or

this unit.

..................................................................................................................................

•Please be sure to read and adhere to the cautionary notices contained in the instructions that came with this product.

Please note that, depending on the manner in which keyboard performances are carried out, you may encounter situations where the keyboard falls off the stand or the stand topples over, even though you have followed all of the instructions and advice contained within the product’s manual. For this reason, you should always perform a safety check each time you use the stand.

..................................................................................................................................

• At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug 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.

..................................................................................................................................

•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.

..................................................................................................................................

•Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

..................................................................................................................................

• Never handle the power cord or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

..................................................................................................................................

• If you need to move the instrument, disconnect the power cord and all cords coming from external devices. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

..................................................................................................................................

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet (p. 18).

..................................................................................................................................

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, pull the plug on the power cord out of the outlet.

..................................................................................................................................

•Should you remove music rest attachment screws, keep them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
