Roland VP-550 Important Safety Instructions page 3

• In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for the safe
operation of the unit.
................................................................................................
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
................................................................................................
• Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share
an outlet with an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when using extension
cords—the total power used by all devices you
have connected to the extension cord's outlet must
never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for
the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the
insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.
................................................................................................
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the "Information" page.
................................................................................................
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,
flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of
insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray
cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any
liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
• The unit should be located so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper venti-
lation.
................................................................................................
• This unit for use only with Roland stand KS-12.
Use with other stands is capable of resulting in
instability causing possible injury.
................................................................................................
• Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply
cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
................................................................................................
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the power
plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all
dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug and
the power outlet can result in poor insulation and
lead to fire.
................................................................................................
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be
placed so they are out of the reach of children.
................................................................................................
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the unit.
................................................................................................
• Never handle the power cord or its plugs with wet
hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
................................................................................................
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the power plug
from the outlet, and pull out all cords from
external devices.
................................................................................................
• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and
unplug the power cord from the outlet (p. 12).
................................................................................................
• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, pull the plug on the power cord out
of the outlet.
