damage should the unit be used
improperly.

or pets.
WARNING
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit
or its AC adaptor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual
provides specific instructions directing you
to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the "Information" page.
Never install the unit in any of the following
locations.
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near
a heating duct, on top of heat-generating
equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
floors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and
shakiness.
Make sure you always have the unit placed
so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never
place it on stands that could wobble, or on
inclined surfaces.
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, make sure the line
voltage at the installation matches the
input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's
body. Other AC adaptors may use a different
polarity, or be designed for a different
voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the attached power-supply cord.
Also, the supplied power cord must not be
used with any other device.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power
cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing
so can damage the cord, producing severed
elements and short circuits. Damaged cords
are fire and shock hazards!
This unit, either alone or in combination with
an amplifier and headphones or speakers,
may be capable of producing sound levels
that could cause permanent hearing loss.
Do not operate for a long period of time
at a high volume level, or at a level that
is uncomfortable. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you
should immediately stop using the unit, and
consult an audiologist.

ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
Do not place containers containing liquid
(e.g., flower vases) on this product. Never
allow foreign objects (e.g., flammable
objects, coins, wires) or liquids (e.g., water
or juice) to enter this product. Doing so may
cause short circuits, faulty operation, or
other malfunctions.
Immediately turn the power off, remove the
AC adaptor from the outlet, and request
servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the "Information"
page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or
the plug has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been
spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or
otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance.
When using the unit in locations where
children are present, be careful so no
mishandling of the unit can take place. An
adult should always be on hand to provide
supervision and guidance.
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 use a CD-ROM in an audio CD
player or DVD player
DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a
conventional audio CD player or DVD player.
The resulting sound may be of a level that
could cause permanent hearing loss.
Damage to speakers or other system
components may result.
WARNING
CAUTION
The unit and the AC adaptor should be
located so their location or position does not
interfere with their proper ventilation.
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into, or unplugging
from, an outlet or this unit.
At regular intervals, you should unplug the
AC adaptor 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 AC adaptor or its plugs
with wet hands when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
If you need to move the instrument, take note
of the precautions listed below. At least two
persons are required to safely lift and move
the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the
while keeping it level. Make sure to have a
firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and
the instrument from damage.
• Check to make sure the screws securing the
unit to the stand have not become loose.
Fasten them again securely whenever you
notice any loosening.
• Disconnect the power cord.
• Disconnect all cords coming from external
devices.
• Close the lid.
• Raise the adjusters on the stand (p. 38).
• Remove the music stand.
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power
and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet
(p. 38).
Whenever you suspect the possibility of
lightning in your area, disconnect the AC
adaptor from the outlet.
Be careful when opening/closing the lid so
you do not get your fingers pinched (p. 8).
Adult supervision is recommended whenever
small children use the unit.
To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts
listed below, always keep them out of the
reach of small children.
• Included/Removable Parts
Screws (p. 38)
If you remove the screw from the ground
terminal, be sure to replace it; don't leave
it lying around where it could accidently
be swallowed by small children. When
refastening the screw, make that it is firmly
fastened, so it won't come loose.
