• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some
other make of connection cable, please note the following precau-
tions.
• 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 specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
565
• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure that
no pets or other small animals are located on top of the
instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the
keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design of
this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up getting
trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered, you must
immediately switch off the power and disconnect the power cord
from the outlet. You should then consult with the retailer from
whom the instrument was purchased, or contact the nearest
Roland Service Center.

• Howling could be produced depending on the location of micro-
phones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
Before Using Floppy Disks Handling the Floppy Disk Drive
602
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from
vibration.
603
• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a
location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its
former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause
condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect
the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the
unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new
environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
604
• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—it will
click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT button firmly.
Do not use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in
the drive.
605a
• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the drive while the
drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could result to
both the disk and the drive.
605b
• The indicator light for the disk drive lights up at full brightness
when reading or writing data, and lights up at half brightness at
other times. Don’t try to eject the disk while reading or writing is
in progress (that is, when the indicator light is lit up at full
brightness). Attempting to do so may damage the magnetic
surface of the disk, rendering it unusable.
606
• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.
607
• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to hold
the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any direction)
while inserting it into the drive. Push it in firmly, but gently.
Never use excessive force.
608
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only
floppy disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of
disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects
inside the drive.
Handling Floppy Disks 651
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is required to
enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface
area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following
when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended
temperature range: 0 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as
those generated by loudspeakers.
652
• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect the
disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be
kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position
only when you wish to write new data onto the disk.
653
• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk.
Should the label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may
be difficult to remove the disk.
654
• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and to
protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By using a dirty
or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as
causing the disk drive to malfunction.
655
• Disks containing performance data for this unit should always be
locked (have their write protect tab slid to the “Protect” position)
before you insert them into the drive on some other unit (except
the PR-300, or a product in the HP-G, HPi, MT, KR, or Atelier
families), or into a computer’s drive. Otherwise (if the write
protect tab remains in the “Write” position), when you perform
any disk operations using the other device’s disk drive (such as
checking the contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk
rendering the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.
Handling CD-ROMs 801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded
surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be
read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially
available CD cleaner.
