Important notes

In addition to the items listed under "Using the unit safely" on p. 7, please read and observe the following:
Power supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is
not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• The use of the supplied AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's
power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batteries, please use the rechargeable Ni-MH type.
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power
on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have con-
nected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment contain-
ing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the
problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther
away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such
wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or
switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise sub-
ject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or dis-
color the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be
the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to pre-
vent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the
unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the FR-3x with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to
wipe the instrument thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may
be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should
always be backed up on a USB memory or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss
of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be pos-
sible to restore the data, and Roland Europe S.p.a. assumes no lia-
bility concerning such loss of data.
Precautions for batteries (not supplied)
• The temperature range for use of the batteries depends on the
battery type being used. Please see the documentation that came
with the batteries.
• Do not use or store batteries at high temperature, such as in
strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather or directly in
front of heaters. This may cause battery fluid leakage, impaired
performance and shorten the batteries' service life.
• Do not splash fresh or saltwater on a battery or allow the termi-
nals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and forma-
tion of rust on the battery and its terminals.
• If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or seem
abnormal in any other way, do not use them. Take them back to
your dealer.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of babies or small children.
• Be sure to carefully instruct any person on the proper way of han-
dling a battery.
• Never dispose of the battery in a fire. Never heat it. Doing so may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release vents or protective
devices, cause combustion through chemical reaction with gener-
ated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid, bursting or fire.
• Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) termi-
nals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause abnormal
chemical reactions.
• Do no strike or drop the batteries. Strong impact can cause leak-
age of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
• Never try to connect several batteries in parallel as this may cause
leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
• Do not alter or remove protective mechanisms or other parts.
Never disassemble the batteries.
• If any fluid from a battery comes in contact with the eyes, flush
the eyes immediately, washing them thoroughly with clean water
from a tap or other source and consult a doctor. Strong alkaline
fluid can damage the eyes and lead to permanent loss of eyesight.
• If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the bat-
tery, wash the area immediately with clean water from a tap. Bat-
tery fluid can cause skin damage.
• When a battery is no longer usable, dispose of it in accordance
with all applicable local laws and regulations.
• If a battery leaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in any
other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat generation,
bursting or fire.
Additional precautions
• 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 impor-
tant data you have stored in the unit's memory to a USB memory.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored on a USB memory once it has been lost. Roland
Europe S.p.a. assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
