TTO FBC-7 socket

Use the supplied cable to connect this socket to the supplied FBC-7 power supply/footswitch unit/battery charger. This may be necessary in the following cases:

•To power the FR-7/FR-5 without using the supplied battery. In most instances, this may be unnecessary, because the supplied battery (FR-7) lasts up to 8

hours.

Note: See also “Connecting the FBC-7” on p. 34 for details about maximizing the life span of the battery.

If you connect the 19-pin cable, be sure to never place the FR-7/FR-5 on the side when not using it.

•Always stand the V-Accordion on its rubber feet (and in the corresponding direction) to avoid damaging the 19-pin plug.

•Always handle and move the FR-7/FR-5 with care and pay special attention to the cable slack to avoid damaging or bending the 19-pin cable.

•If you place the FR-7/FR-5 on your lap, ensure that the 19-pin cable runs between you legs (not side- ways) to avoid damaging or bending the 19-pin cable.

•To be able to control certain functions by foot (see p. 34).

•To use the FR-7/FR-5 as a MIDI controller (only the FBC-7 has MIDI sockets).

U

UOUTPUT L/MONO (Treble) & R/MONO (Bass) sockets These sockets can be connected to an amplifier, a mixing console or a wireless system.

If you use both connectors, the FR-7/FR-5’s output is stereo. If you only use one jack (connected to the “L” or “R” socket), the FR-7/FR-5’s output is mono.

Note: If you don’t want to use a wireless system, consider con- necting the FR-7/FR-5 to the FBC-7 when you need to connect it to an external amplifier.

Note: On the FR-7, connecting jacks to these sockets does not mute the internal speakers.

VPHONES socket

This is where you can connect stereo headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200). On the FR-7, con- necting a pair of headphones mutes the internal speakers.
