• In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of fol-
lowing all the rules essential for the safe operation
of the unit.
• Protect the instrument from strong impact.
Do not drop it!
• When using an optional adaptor, do not force it 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 instrument in a foreign country,
consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed
on the "Information" page.
• The instrument and the optional adaptor should be
located so their position does not interfere with their
proper ventilation.
• Whenever the instrument is to remain unused for an
extended period of time, disconnect the optional
adaptor if you have one.
• 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 instrument.
• Never handle the batteries or optional adaptor with
wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from,
an outlet or the A-37.
• Before cleaning the A-37, turn off the power and
unplug the optional adaptor from the outlet.
