• Before using this instrument, read the instructions below and the Owner’s Manual.

•Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

•Do not attempt to repair the FR-2/FR-2b or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions direct- ing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

•Never use or store the FR-2/FR-2b in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generat- ing equipment); or are

•Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

•Humid; or are

•Exposed to rain; or are

•Dusty; or are

•Subject to high levels of vibration.

•When not in use, do not place the FR-2b or FR-2 vertically due to

instability. If placed in the vertical position on the floor/stage, ensure that it leans against a stable vertical surface e.g. a wall or a heavy musical instrument.

• The FR-2/FR-2b’s adaptor should only be connected to a power supply of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the adaptor’s label.

• 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.

•Do not excessively twist or bend the adaptor cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

•Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.

•This instrument, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the FR-2/FR-2b and consult an audiol- ogist.

•Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the FR-2/ FR-2b.

•Batteries must never be recharged (one-way batteries), heated,

taken apart, or thrown into fire or water.

• In households with small children, an adult should provide super- vision until the child is capable of following all rules essential for the safe operation of the FR-2/FR-2b.

• Protect the FR-2/FR-2b from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

• Immediately turn the power off, remove the 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 adaptor’s cord or the plug has been damaged; or

•Objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled onto the FR-2/FR-2b; 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 adaptor to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using exten- sion cords—the total power used by all devices you have con-

nected 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 FR-2/FR-2b in a foreign country, consult with

your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

• The FR-2/FR-2b should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

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

• Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plug- ging into or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

• 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 FR-2/FR-2b 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.
