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 computer.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored on a computer 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.
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 (includ-
ing padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to
use equivalent packaging materials.
561
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunc-
tion and/or damage to the unit.
562
• 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 information on cable specifications, contact the
manufacturer of the cable.
566a
• The usable range of D BEAM controller will become extremely small
when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this
when using the D BEAM controller outside.
566b
• The sensitivity of the D BEAM controller will change depending on
the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function
as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness
of your location.
Before Using USB Memory
704
• Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is firmly in
place.
• Use USB memory made by Roland.
705
• Never touch the terminals of the USB memory. Also, avoid getting
the terminals dirty.
708
• USB memories are constructed using precision components; handle
the USB memories carefully, paying particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the USB memories from static electricity,
be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body
before handling the USB memories.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the
contact portion of the USB memories.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject USB memories to strong shock
or vibration.
• Do not keep USB memories in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,
or other such locations.
• Do not allow USB memories to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the USB memories.
Handling CD-ROMs (DRIVER), DVD
801

of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM/DVD discs may not be read
properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available disc
cleaner.
