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

•Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the unit. (The only exception would be where this manual provides specific instructions which should be followed in order to put in place user-

installable options; see Quick Start p. 49.)

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

• 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.

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

•Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not bend it excessively, step on it, place heavy objects on it, etc.

A damaged cord can easily become a shock or fire hazard. Never use a power cord after it has been damaged.

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

•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 insula- tion on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as list- ed on the “Information” page.
