USING THE UNIT SAFELY
001
Before using this unit, make sure to read the instruc-
tions 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 instruc-
tions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an autho-
rized 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.
........................................................................................................................
005
This unit should be used only with the stand that is
recommended by Roland (PDS-2).
........................................................................................................................
006
When using the unit with the stand recommended by
Roland (PDS-2), the stand must be carefully placed so it
is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a stand,
you still need to make sure that any location you choose
for placing the unit provides a level surface that will
properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.
........................................................................................................................
008b
Use only the specified AC adaptor (BOSS PSA series),
and 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.
........................................................................................................................
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.
........................................................................................................................
012c
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 or the power-supply cord 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.
........................................................................................................................

provide supervision until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for the safe operation of
the unit.
