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.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience
a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the
touch when you touch this device. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical
charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about
this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground.
When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the
particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method,
contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of
lightning)
