IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2-3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

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).

The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

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

This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

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.

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

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.

Before Using PC Cards

Never attempt to remove a PC Card from the drive while the drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could result to both the card and the drive.

Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.

To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only PC Cards into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects inside the drive.

Before Using Cards

Using DATA Cards

Carefully insert the PC card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

Additional Precautions

Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored DATA card once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

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.

Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

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.

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).

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.
