Immediately turn the power off, 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, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or

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.

..........................................................................................................

Always turn the unit off and unplug the AC adaptor before attempting installation of the circuit board (SRX series; p. 12).

..........................................................................................................

DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may result.

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.

..........................................................................................................

Whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC

adaptor.

..........................................................................................................

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.

..........................................................................................................

Disconnect all cords coming from external devices before moving the unit.

..........................................................................................................

Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 12).

..........................................................................................................

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

..........................................................................................................

Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SRX series). Remove only the specified screws (p. 106).

..........................................................................................................

• Should you remove screws and rubber feet, make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
