IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply
• Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator faces
upwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC
adaptor into an AC outlet.
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.
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.
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.
