IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the following:
Placement
•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 temper- ature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
Maintenance
•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 impreg- nated with a mild,
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
•Use a reasonable amount of care when using its output jack. Rough handling can lead to malfunc- tions.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
•This instrument is designed to minimize the extra- neous sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.
•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.
•Use the supplied cable or 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.
•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.
•The hoop’s rubber portion is an expendable item, whose performance deteriorates with extended use. Continued use of this rubber component beyond its useful service life may result in malfunction or damage to the hoop. If this occurs, replace the hoop and insert.
For more on replacing the hoop rubber, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.
•Do not apply excessive force to the sensor located below the center of the head. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.
•Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor, changes in room temperature may affect the sensi- tivity of the sensor.
•Be sure to adjust the head tension before using the
