A CAUTION |
* 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.
e Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
e Disconnect all cords coming from external
devices before moving the unit.
e Should you remove the parts of installation

swallowed accidentally.
IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under "USING
THE UNIT SAFELY," please read and
observe the following: .
Power Supply
© Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
e 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.
¢ Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
* 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 temper-
ature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
e When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very different,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside the
unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you
attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
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-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After-
wards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a
soft, dry cloth.
ə Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
e 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.
e 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.
* 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
concerned about those around you (especially _-
when it is late at night).
e When you need to transport the unit, package it in
the box (including padding) that it came in, if
possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equiv-
alent packaging materials.
e Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. It
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 connecting
to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the
sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to
"hear. For information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
