Switching the power on and off

The power-on procedure depends on whether you are using a battery or the FBC-7 Foot Pedal/DC Power/ Bat- tery Charger Unit.

Note: Only use the battery that either came with your FR-7 or that you purchased from your Roland dealer. Using other batter- ies can severely damage the FR-7/FR-5 or FBC-7. Roland assumes no responsibility for damages caused by batteries that have not been explicitly approved. Such damages are not covered by Roland’s warranty regulations.

If you are using a battery and no external amplification (FR-7 only)

(1)Press the FR-7’s [POWER] button (it lights) to switch it on.

Note: You can also connect headphones.

(2)Start playing (see “First steps” on page 18).

(3)Press the [POWER] button again so that it goes dark when you are finished.

If you are using a battery and an audio connec- tion to an external device

The FR-5 needs to be connected to an amplification system of some sort (unless you want to use head- phones), while you also need the FBC-7.

Note: You can also purchase a wireless transmitter from your Roland dealer and connect it to the OUTPUT sockets on the FR-7/ FR-5.

(1)Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio device.

You can also simply switch it off.

(2)Connect the FR-7/FR-5’s OUTPUT sockets to the

external audio device using two 1/4” guitar cables. Note: You can also connect headphones to the PHONES socket, in which case you do not need to establish an audio connection.

r	(3)	Press the FR-7/FR-5’s [POWER] button (it lights) to
		switch it on.
		The	icon informs you that the FR-7/FR-5 runs on
		the battery (it also indicates the battery’s status).
	(4)	Switch on the receiving audio device.
	(5)	Start playing (see “First steps” on page 18).

(6)Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio device or switch it off.

(7)Press the FR-7/FR-5’s [POWER] button again so that it goes dark.

If you are using the FBC-7

If the FR-7/FR-5 is powered by the supplied FBC-7 unit, proceed as follows:

(1)Connect the FR-7/FR-5 to the FBC-7 using the supplied 19-pin cable.

(2)Connect the FBC-7’s AC INLET socket to a wall out- let that meets the specifications (see p. 98).

To a wall outlet

The FBC-7 should only be connected to a power source of the type marked on the bottom of the unit. For details on the power consumption, please refer to page 98.

(3)Turn down the output volume of the receiving audio device.

You can also simply switch it off.

(4)Connect the FBC-7’s OUTPUT sockets to the exter- nal audio device (amplifier, mixing console, etc.). Though you can also use the FR-7/FR-5’s OUTPUT sockets, doing so is probably only a good idea if you are working with a wireless transmitter. Using the FBC-7’s OUTPUT sockets indeed means that you only need one connection between the FR-7/FR-5 and the FBC-7.

(5)Press the FBC-7’s [POWER¥ON] button to switch it on.

The POWER ON indicator on the FBC-7’s top panel lights red.
