Using The Unit Safely; Important Notes - Roland V-Drums TD-1KV Owner's Manual

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

Please read this in conjunction with the leaflet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY. "
To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug from the outlet
Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not completely
separated from its main source of power. When the power needs to be
completely turned off, turn off the power switch on the unit, then pull
out the plug from the outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you
choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is within easy reach
and readily accessible.
Concerning the Auto Off function
The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for
playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off
function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically,
disengage the Auto Off function (p. 14).
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 supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied power cord must
not be used with any other device.
Take care so as not to get fingers pinched
When handling the following moving parts, take care so as not to get
fingers, etc., pinched. An adult should always be in charge of handling
these items.

Keep small items out of the reach of children
To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts listed below, always keep
them out of the reach of small children.
• Removable Parts
Screws (p. 4)
Cap of the special connection cable

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement
• 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 prevent 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 unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has
been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• The pedals of this drum set are made of stainless steel. Depending on the
conditions of use, the stainless steel may rust. If rusting occurs, use commercially
available metal polish to remove it.

WARNING
CAUTION
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make a backup of the data
stored within it; or you may prefer to write down the needed information.
Although we will do our utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit
when we carry out repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section
is physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may be impossible.
Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content
that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of equipment failure,
incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of data,
try to make a habit of creating regular backups of the data you've stored in the
unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content
that has been lost.
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater
degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance
to others nearby. Although the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is
a minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when they're struck, rubber
heads tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can
effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by switching to
mesh heads.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when
it's played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds
to become a nuisance others nearby.
• When you operate the kick pedal or hi-hat pedal, please be careful not to get
your fingers pinched between the movable parts. In places where small children
are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative to
maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may
appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck
during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect
the Pad's function.
