sion boards to be installed.

Immediately turn the power off, and request servic-
ing by your dealer or qualified Roland service per-
sonnel when:
• Objects (such as screws) have fallen into, or liquid has
been spilled on to the TD-10; or
• The TD-10 has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has
become wet); or
• The TD-10 does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that
can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe
the following whenever you handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal
object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any
static electricity you might have been carrying has been
discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges.
Avoid touching any of the electronic components or
connectors.
