Roland V-Combo VR-09 Owner's Manual page 65

Placement
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which
you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent
this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will
not slip or move accidentally.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing liquid on top of
this unit. Also, whenever any liquid has been spilled on the surface of
this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that
has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a
cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be
lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always
be backed up on USB lash drives, or written down on paper (when
possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory
itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore
the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost
as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit.
To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we
recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important
data you have stored in the unit's memory on USB lash drives.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that
was stored in the unit's memory or USB lash drives once it has been
lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of
data.
• 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.
• When 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 others nearby, try to keep the unit's volume at
reasonable levels.
• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing
an instrument can be transmitted through a loor or wall to an
unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others
nearby.
• 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 only the speciied expression pedal (EV series; sold separately). By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to the unit.
• 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 speciications, contact the manufacturer of
the cable.
• The usable range of D-BEAM controller will become extremely small
when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when
using the D-BEAM controller outside.
• 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.
• When opening/closing the USB lash drive cover, please be careful not
to get your ingers pinched between the movable part and the panel.
In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
• 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.
