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 malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
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 recep-
tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
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 temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
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 impregnated
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.
Repairs and Data ••••••••••••••••••
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up memory
card, or written down on paper (when possible). During
repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry relat-
ed to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it
may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Memory Backup •••••••••••••••••••
This unit contains a battery which powers the unit's memo-
ry circuits while the main power is off. When this battery
becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in
the display. Once you see this message, have the battery
replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the
loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced,
consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
"Information" page.
"Battery Low!"
Additional Precautions ••••••••••••••
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre-
trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improp-
er operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the
risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit's memory on a memory card.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the con-
tents of data that was stored in the unit's memory and/or
a memory card 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 mal-
functions.
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 inter-
nal 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 head-
phones, so you do not need to be concerned 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 possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.
Before Using Cards •••••••••••••••••
Using DATA Cards
Carefully insert the memory card all the way in—until it
is firmly in place.
The surface without
gold contacts
must face upward
Never touch the terminals of the memory card. Also,
avoid getting the terminals dirty.
