•This unit, 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 unit, and consult an audiologist.

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

011

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

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

012b

•Immediately turn the power 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

•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.

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

013

•In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the

safe operation of the unit.

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

014

•Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

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

015

•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.

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

016

•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.

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

023

•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.

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

101b

•The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

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

101c

•This (FP-2) for use only with Roland stand FPS- 11A. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

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

102c

•Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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

103b

•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.

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

104

•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.

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

106

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

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

107c

• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with

wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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