USING THE UNIT SAFELY • Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to
penetrate the unit.
....................................................................................................
• In households with small children, an adult should provide
supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules
essential for the safe operation of the unit.
....................................................................................................
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
....................................................................................................
• 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.
....................................................................................................
• DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD
player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system
components may result.
• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their
location or position does not interfere with their proper venti-
lation.
....................................................................................................
• This (SP-555) for use only with Roland stand PDS-10. Use
with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing
possible injury.
....................................................................................................
• This stand for use only with specific Roland musical instru-
ments. See apparatus instructions. Use with other models is
capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.
....................................................................................................
• Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when
plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
....................................................................................................
• 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 accumu-
lation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet
can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
....................................................................................................
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled.
Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out
of the reach of children.
....................................................................................................
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.
....................................................................................................
• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
....................................................................................................
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all
cords coming from external devices.
....................................................................................................
• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the
AC adaptor from the outlet (Quick Start Guide).
....................................................................................................
• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your
area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
....................................................................................................
• Should you remove screws for CARD LOCK, keep them in a
safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of
them being swallowed accidentally.
....................................................................................................
• Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any
device other than condenser microphones that require
phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly
supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that don’t require such
power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone
you intend to use by referring to the manual that came with it.
(This instrument’s phantom power: 48 V DC, 10 mA Max)
