IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 3-4, please read and observe the following:

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 other devices.

Placement

351

Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce noise or unstable image on video output. 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 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.

355b

When moved from one location to another where the temperature 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.

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, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe 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.

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 to take memo of your important data (settings etc.) you have stored in the unit’s memory dial.

552

Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in memory dial once it has been lost. Roland Corporation/Edirol 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.

558b

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the audio volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is late at night) if you enjoy listening to music.

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.
