•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.

•Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

•A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.

•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.

•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).

•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 a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

•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.

•Unauthorized duplication, reproduction, hiring, and lending prohibited.

•Before you open the included CD-ROM, you must read the “license agreement.” Opening the CD-ROM will be taken to mean your acceptance of the license agreement.

•The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location.

•The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incor- porate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Before Using Cards

Using DATA Cards

•Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

CompactFlash™

•Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.

•This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not compatible.

•Memory cards are constructed using precision components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.

•To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.

•Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact portion of the cards.

•Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.

•Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such locations (storage temper- ature: -25 to 85° C).

•Do not allow cards to become wet.

•Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

Handling CD-ROMs

•Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD- ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.
