Roland AX-09 IMPORTANT NOTES

Deutsch Français Italiano Español Português NederlandsEnglish

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled

by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,

microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a

motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical

appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this

unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is

not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect

a power supply noise lter between this unit and the

electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause

for concern.

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s

power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer

to use batteries, please use the nickel hydrogen type.

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn o

the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices

you may have connected. This way, you can prevent

malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn o the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions

and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

• If batteries are installed, disconnecting or reconnecting

the power cord at the AC outlet or disconnecting the DC

plug from the Lucina AX-09’s rear panel while the power is

on will cause the power to turn o. You must turn o the

power before you connect or disconnect the power cord

or AC adaptor.

Placement

• Using the unit near power ampliers (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 interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

• 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 initiating 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 o.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed

vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.

Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, 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.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing

to produce sound.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the

surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may

discolor or mar the surface.

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet

to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make

sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

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.

Repairs and Data

• 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 the USB

memory, 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.

Using USB Memories

• Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in-until it is

rmly in place.

• Never touch the terminals of the USB memory. Also, avoid

getting the terminals dirty.

• USB memories are constructed using precision

components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular

note to the following.

• To prevent damage to the cards from static

electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity

from your own body before handling the cards.

• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact

with the contact portion of the cards.

• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock

or vibration.

• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed

vehicles, or other such locations.

• Do not allow cards to become wet.

• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

Handling DVDs

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside

(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty DVD

discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean

using a commercially available disk cleaner.

Strap Holder Precautions

• Never unscrew the strap pins to avoid damaging

the Lucina AX-09’s plastic housing, which eventually

compromises overall stability and safety.

• To avoid dropping the unit and damaging it or causing

injuries to yourself or other people, be sure to double-

check whether the supplied strap is securely attached to

the two pins before using the Lucina AX-09.

• Roland recommends installing commercially available

strap locks for guitar to guard against damage and

injuries caused by the strap coming loose while your are

playing.

Additional Precautions

• 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 USB memory.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the

contents of data that was stored on a USB memory

or the internal memory 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.

• Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-5; sold

separately). By connecting any other expression pedals,

you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

• 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 information

on cable specications, contact the manufacturer of

the cable.

• The usable range of D Beam controller will become

extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight.

Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller

outside.

• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that

depict what should typically be shown by the display.

Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,

enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer

sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not

always match what appears in the manual.
