IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under "IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" and "USING THE UNIT
SAFELY" on pages 2 and 3, please read and observe
the following:
Power Supply
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with
any device that will generate line noise (such as an
electric motor or variable lighting system).
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent mal-
functions and/or damage to speakers or other
devices.
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when
the POWER switch is switched off, this does not
mean that the unit has been completely disconnected
from the source of power. If you need to turn off the
power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,
then unplug the power cord from the power 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.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Observe the following when using the unit's floppy
disk drive. For further details, refer to "Before Using
Floppy Disks" (p. 5).
• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a
strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration
while the drive is operating.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it
near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an
enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to tempera-
ture extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor
the unit.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in
a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other
moisture.
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 impreg-
4
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk
once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes
no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp
the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the
cable's internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be con-
cerned about those around you (especially when it is
late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in
the box (including padding) that it came in, if possi-
ble. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent
packaging materials.
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If
using some other make of connection cable, please
note the following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not
use cables that incorporate resistors for connect-
ing to this unit. The use of such cables can cause
the sound level to be extremely low, or impossi-
ble to hear. For information on cable specifica-
tions, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
