Using The Unit Safely; Important Notes - Boss DD-500 Owner's Manual

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug
from the outlet
Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not completely
separated from its main source of power. When the power needs to be
completely turned off, turn off the power switch on the unit, then pull
out the plug from the outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you
choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is within
easy reach and readily accessible.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries
• If operating this unit on batteries, please use alkaline batteries.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make a backup of the data stored
within it; or you may prefer to write down the needed information. Although we will
do our utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs, in
some cases, such as when the memory section is physically damaged, restoration of
the stored content may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of equipment failure,
incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of data, try
to make a habit of creating regular backups of the data you've stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has
been lost.
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically
be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate 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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
