IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2,

3 and 4, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable

lighting system).

307

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to

speakers or other devices.

308

Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach.

Placement

351

Using the unit near power amplifiers (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.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

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 off.

354b

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. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time.

Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

When moved from one location to another where the temper- ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden- sation) 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.

356

Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or

otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

357

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any

liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

359

Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

Do not allow objects to remain on top of the unit while it is in operation.

Maintenance

401a

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.

402

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

For routine care of the carpeted surfaces, use a brush with stiff bristles.

Additional Precautions

553

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.

556

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.

557

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

558a

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).

559a

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.

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.

When transporting and storing the KC-60, be sure to secure the AC cord to the cord hook on the rear of the main unit.
