In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page
Power Supply
301
•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).
302
•The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
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 inter-
ference.
352a
•This device may interfere with radio and television exception. 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 initi- ating 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.
355
•To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
Maintenance
401a
•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
the unit 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.
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. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). 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.
Memory Backup
501b
•This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
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 protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) 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.
554
•Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
internal elements.
558a
•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
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.
561
•Use only the specified expression pedal
you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
562
•Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following 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.
