Using The Unit Safely; Important Notes - Roland TR-8S Owner's Manual

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

WARNING
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

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.
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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the
display.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-
coloration of the pad, but this will not
affect the pad's function.
