specific instructions directing you to do so) . Refer
all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distribu-
tor, as listed on the "Information" page .
Never install the unit in any of the following
locations .
• Subject to temperature extremes (e .g ., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating
duct, on top of heat-generating equipment);
or are
• Damp (e .g ., baths, washrooms, on wet floors);
or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and
shakiness .
Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is
level and sure to remain stable . Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces .
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 attached power-supply cord . Also,
the supplied power cord must not be used with
any other device .
Do not excessively twist or bend the power
cord, nor place heavy objects on it . Doing so can
damage the cord, producing severed elements
and short circuits . Damaged cords are fire and
shock hazards!
This unit, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss . Do not operate
for a long period of time at a high volume level,
or at a level that is uncomfortable . If you experi-
ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you
should immediately stop using the unit, and
consult an audiologist .
Do not allow any objects (e .g ., flammable mate-
rial, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft
drinks, etc .) to penetrate the unit .

WARNING
Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC
adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the "Information" page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the
plug has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been
spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or
otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance .
In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for the
safe operation of the unit .
Protect the unit from strong impact .
(Do not drop it!)
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 rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord . Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through .
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 "Information" page .
Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken
apart, or thrown into fire or water .
DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional
audio CD player . The resulting sound may be of
a level that could cause permanent hearing loss .
Damage to speakers or other system compo-
nents may result .
Never expose battery to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like .
CAUTION
The unit and the AC adaptor should be located
so their location or position does not interfere
with their proper ventilation .
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into, or unplugging from,
an outlet or this unit .
CAUTION
At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to
wipe all dust and other accumulations away
from its prongs . Also, disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet whenever the unit
is to remain unused for an extended period of
time . Any accumulation of dust between the
power plug and the power outlet can result in
poor insulation and lead to fire .
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled . Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children .
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects
on the unit .
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with
wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging
from, an outlet or this unit .
Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC
adaptor and all cords coming from external
devices .
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p . 9) .
Whenever you suspect the possibility of light-
ning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor

If used improperly, batteries may explode or
leak and cause damage or injury . In the interest
of safety, please read and observe the following
precautions (p . 6) .
• Carefully follow the installation instructions
for batteries, and make sure you observe the
correct polarity .
• Avoid using new batteries together with
used ones . In addition, avoid mixing different
types of batteries .
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is
to remain unused for an extended period
of time .
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of
cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants
of the discharge from the battery compart-
ment . Then install new batteries . To avoid
inflammation of the skin, make sure that
none of the battery discharge gets onto your
hands or skin . Exercise the utmost caution
so that none of the discharge gets near your
eyes . Immediately rinse the affected area
with running water if any of the discharge
has entered the eyes .
• Never keep batteries together with metallic
objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces,
hairpins, etc .
Used batteries must be disposed of in compli-
ance with whatever regulations for their safe
disposal that may be observed in the region in
which you live .
Should you remove the functional ground
terminal's screw (p . 8), the CARD LOCK screw
(p . 10) or the SD card keep them in a safe place
out of children's reach, so there is no chance of
them being swallowed accidentally .
