Using The Unit Safely - Roland SP-404A Owner's Manual

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

WARNING
Concerning the Auto Off function
The power to this unit will be
turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time
has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons
or controls were operated (Auto Off function).
If you do not want the power to be turned
off automatically, disengage the Auto Off
function (p. 6).
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the
correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC
adaptor supplied with the unit.
Also, make sure the line voltage
at the installation matches the
input voltage specified on the
AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may
use a different polarity, or be designed for a
different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
• If operating this unit on batteries, please
use alkaline batteries, rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries.
• Even if batteries are installed, the unit
will turn off if you connect or disconnect
the power cord from the AC outlet while
the unit is turned on, or if you connect or
disconnect the AC adaptor from the unit.
When this occurs, unsaved data may be
lost. You must turn off the power before
you connect or disconnect the power cord
or AC adaptor.
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.
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.
WARNING
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord.
Also, the supplied power cord
must not be used with any other
device.
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.
