Roland PK-6 Owner's Manual page 5

Adults must provide supervision in places
where children are present
• When using the unit in locations where children are
present, be careful so no mishandling of the unit can
take place. An adult should always be on hand to provide
supervision and guidance.
.................................................................................................
Do not drop or subject to strong impact
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
.................................................................................................
Do not share an outlet with an unreason-
able number of other devices
• 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 rat-
ing (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and
eventually melt through.

Do not use overseas
• 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 "Informa-
tion" page.
