or pets.
ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
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 included power cord
Use only the attached power-supply cord.
Also, the supplied power cord must not be
used with any other device.
Do not bend the power cord or place heavy objects
on it
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!
Avoid extended use at high volume
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
experience any hearing loss or ringing in
the ears, you should immediately stop using
the unit, and consult an audiologist.
Don't allow foreign objects or liquids to enter unit;
never place containers with liquid on unit
Do not place containers containing liquid
on this product. Never allow foreign objects
(e.g., flammable objects, coins, wires) or
liquids (e.g., water or juice) to enter this
product. Doing so may cause short circuits,
faulty operation, or other malfunctions.

WARNING WARNING
Turn off the unit if an abnormality or malfunction
occurs
Immediately turn the unit 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; or
• 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.
Adults must provide supervision in places where
children are present
When using the unit in locations where
children are present, be careful so no
mishandling of the unit can take place. An
adult should always be on hand to provide
supervision and guidance.
Do not drop or subject to strong impact
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not share an outlet with an unreasonable number
of other devices
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.
Do not use overseas
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.
