Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

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

• Do not open or perform any internal modifica- tions on the unit.

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

Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing 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 unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating 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.

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

Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

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

The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instruc- tions, or as marked on the unit.

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

• Use only the attached power-supply cord.

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

Do not excessively twist or bend the power 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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
