IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “Important Safety Instructions” (inside cover) and “Using the unit safely”, p. 2, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

When the AC adaptor is used for extended periods, both the adaptor itself, and the area around the ep-760’s DC IN connector will become somewhat warm; however, this does not indicate a malfunction.

Before connecting the ep-760 to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Be sure to only use the supplied adapter or (in the unlikely event it ceases to function properly) an equiva- lent Roland ACO adapter.

Do not allow objects to remain on the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to pro- duce sound.

Maintenance

To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Placement

Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interfer- ence.

This instrument may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiat- ing a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehi- cle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the ep-760 in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other mois- ture.

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the ep-760 for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the piano. 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.

Additional Precautions

Use a reasonable amount of care when using the ep-760’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connec- tor itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head- phones.

When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock- absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the fol- lowing precautions.

Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor- mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac- turer of the cable.
