instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

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

002c

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its

AC adaptor.

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

003

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts

within it (except when this manual provides

specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer

all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland

Service Center, or an authorized Roland

distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

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

004

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct

sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating

duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or

are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or

are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

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

007

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is

level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on

stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

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

008c

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with

the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the

installation matches the input voltage specified on

the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may

use a different polarity, or be designed for a

different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

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

008e

• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also,

the supplied power cord must not be used with

any other device.

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

009

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,

nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage

the cord, producing severed elements and short

circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

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

010

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an

amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be

capable of producing sound levels that could cause

permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long

period of time at a high volume level, or at a level

that is uncomfortable. If you experience any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should

immediately stop using the unit, and consult an

audiologist.

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

011

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material,

coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft

drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

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

012b

• 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

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs

• 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.

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)

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

015

• 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.

• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken

apart, or thrown into fire or water.

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

101b

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so

their location or position does not interfere with

their proper ventilation.

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

102c

• Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor

cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an

outlet or this unit.

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

103b

• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC

adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe

all dust and other accumulations away from its

prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the

power outlet whenever the unit is to remain

unused for an extended period of time. Any

accumulation of dust between the power plug and

the power outlet can result in poor insulation and

lead to fire.

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