USING THE UNIT SAFELY

WARNING

Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or
its AC adaptor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual
provides specic instructions directing you to
do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information”
page.
Never install the unit in any of the following
locations.
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle,
near a heating duct, on top of heat-
generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
oors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and
shakiness.
Make sure you always have the unit placed so
it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place
it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined
surfaces
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage
at the installation matches the input voltage
specied on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC
adaptors may use a dierent polarity, or be
designed for a dierent voltage, so their use
could result in damage, malfunction, or electric
shock.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power
cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing
so can damage the cord, producing severed
elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are
re and shock hazards!
This unit, either alone or in combination with an
amplier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate
for a long period of time at a high volume
level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the
ears, you should immediately stop using the
unit, and consult an audiologist.

WARNING

Do not place containers containing liquid on
this product. Never allow foreign objects (e.g.,
ammable objects, coins, wires) or liquids (e.g.,
water or juice) to enter this product. Doing so
may cause short circuits, faulty operation, or
other malfunctions.
Immediately turn the power o, remove the AC
adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing
by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page when:
• The AC adaptor or the power-supply
cord has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has
been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or
otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance.
In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for
the safe operation of the unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to
share an outlet with an unreasonable number
of other devices. Be especially careful when
using extension cords—the total power used by
all devices you have connected to the extension
cord’s outlet must never exceed the power
rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the
cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
Before using the unit in a foreign country,
consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

CAUTION

The unit and the AC adaptor should be located
so their location or position does not interfere
with their proper ventilation.
Always grasp only the output plug or the body
of the AC adaptor when plugging into, or
unplugging from, this unit or an outlet.

CAUTION

At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to
wipe all dust and other accumulations away
from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet whenever the unit
is to remain unused for an extended period of
time. Any accumulation of dust between the
power plug and the power outlet can result in
poor insulation and lead to re.
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects
on the unit.
Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its
output plugs, with wet hands when plugging
into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC
adaptor and all cords coming from external
devices.
Before cleaning the unit, turn o the power and
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 7).
Whenever you suspect the possibility of
lightning in your area, disconnect the AC
adaptor from the outlet.
To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts
listed below, always keep them out of the reach
of small children.

Always turn the phantom power o when
connecting any device other than condenser
microphones that require phantom power. You
risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply
phantom power to dynamic microphones,
audio playback devices, or other devices that
don’t require such power. Be sure to check the
specications of any microphone you intend
to use by referring to the manual that came
with it.
(This instrument’s phantom power: 48 V DC, 10
mA Max)
