Connections

The FR-2/FR-2b has a compartment for 8 optional AA-type batteries. Consider purchasing such batteries when performing on stage.

Using the OUTPUT sockets

The FR-2/FR-2b needs to be connected to an amplification system. If you are using optional batteries and need to connect the FR-2/FR-2b to a PA system or mixer, we recommend using a wireless system to avoid having to use excessively long signal cables.

You can also use a pair of headphones (Roland RH-30A, RH-200, RH-200S or RH-300).

Note: To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

Switching the power on and off

The power-on procedure depends on whether or not you are using optional batteries.

Note: If you decide to use rechargeable AA batteries, be aware that they cannot be recharged simply by leaving them in the FR-2/FR-2b’s com- partment and connecting the adaptor. You will need an external charg- ing unit.

Note: Once the connections have been completed, turn on the power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

If you are using the supplied adaptor

(1)Connect the supplied adaptor to the FR-2/ FR-2b’s DC IN socket.

(2)Connect the adaptor to a wall outlet that meets the specifications (see p. 28).
