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.

warningUse only the specified stand(s)
This unit is designed to be used in combination with specific stands (KSCFP10, KS-12, KS-20X, KS-10Z) manufactured by Roland. If used in combination with other stands, you risk sustaining injuries as the result of this product dropping down or toppling over due to a lack of stability.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

  • Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
  • Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.

Care of the Keyboard

  • Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface lines and become unremovable.
  • Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.
  • To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.
