IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

307

●Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

●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 interference.

352a

●This device may interfere with radio and television reception.

Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

●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 initiating 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.

354a

●Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat

can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

●When moved from one location to another where the temper- ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has

completely evaporated.

360

●Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Repairs and Data

452

●Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Please save important data as a file on the M-400 or on your computer. For details on how to save data, refer to the owner’ manual of the M-400 (Ver. 2.0 or later) or the S-4000 RCS Ver. 2.0. During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

551

●Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To avoid inconvenience in the event of data loss, save important data as a file on the M-400 or on your computer. For details on how to save data, refer to the owner’s manual of the M-400 (Ver. 2.0 or later) or the S-4000 RCS

Ver. 2.0.

552

●Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on the unit, the M-400, and your computer once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes

no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

●Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks

and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

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

elements.

559a

●When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

Maintenance

401a

thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

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