* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.
* Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all
connected devices.
* When outputting in mono, connect the cable to the OUTPUT
L (MONO) jack.
* Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5 or
Roland FV-300L; sold separately). By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or
damage to the unit.
* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the
power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
