Important Notes

Additional Precautions

551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself
against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend
that you periodically save a backup copy of important
data you have stored in the unit's memory on a storage
device (e.g., CD-R/RW disc).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a storage device (e.g.,
CD-R/RW disc) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's
internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Handling Hard Disks
Important Performance and Image Data
811
• Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that
has been stored on it could be destroyed.
All hard disks eventually wear out. We recommend that
you consider the hard disk not as a permanent storage
site, but as a place to store data temporarily. We also
recommend that you back up important performance that
cannot be recorded again onto the external media (e.g.,
CD-R/RW disc).
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever,
including monetary compensation, for the loss of any
recorded content in the event of the malfunction of, or
physical damage to the hard disk, or for any direct or
incidental damages resulting from the loss of such data.
Precautions Regarding Setup and Use
812
• Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions
may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunc-
tioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be sure to
observe the following precautions.
• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock,
especially while the unit is in operation.
• Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be
affected by vibration from external sources, or on any
surface that is not stable and level.
• If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan
and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to
temperature extremes; for example, in a closed
automobile in summer or outdoors during winter.
• Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature
and humidity or in any location subject to rapid
temperature changes.
• Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit
breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected
while the power is turned on.
• Do not move the unit while the power is turned on or
immediately after turning off the power. When trans-
porting the unit, first turn off the power and confirm
that the display screen has gone off, disconnect the
power plug, then wait at least two minutes before
moving the device.
