IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical
outlet that is being used by an electrical
appliance that is controlled by an
inverter or a motor (such as a refrigerator,
washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). Depending on the way
in which the electrical appliance is used,
power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible
noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply
noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
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 unit may interfere with radio and
television reception. Do not use this unit in
the vicinity of such receivers.
• 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 temperature extremes. Also, do
not allow lighting devices that normally are
used while their light source is very close to
the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful
spotlights to shine upon the same area
of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• 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.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar
materials to remain on this unit for long
periods of time. Such objects can deform or
discolor the unit.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top
of the keyboard. This can be the cause
of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to
produce sound.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to
this instrument. Peeling such matter off the
instrument may damage the exterior finish.
• Do not place containers or anything else
containing liquid on top of this unit. Also,
whenever any liquid has been spilled on
the surface of this unit, be sure to promptly
wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or
one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe
the entire surface using an equal amount of
strength, moving the cloth along with the
grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the
same area can damage the finish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.
• The pedals of this unit are made of brass.
Brass eventually darkens as the result
of the natural oxidization process. If the
brass becomes tarnished, polish it using
commercially available metal polisher.
Maintenance of polished-finish pianos
(Only for HP508-PE)
• The surface of this unit has been polished so
as to create a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
Since this beautiful finish is as delicate as
that of the highest quality, wood-crafted
furniture, it needs to be cared for at regular
intervals. Please make sure to observe the
following when caring for the unit.
• For routine care, gently clean the surface
using a soft cloth or a piano-use feather
duster. You must avoid applying any
force, since even the tiniest particles of
sand or grit can produce scratches if you
wipe too hard.
• If the finish loses its luster, use a soft cloth
dampened with some polishing liquid to
evenly wipe the surface of the unit.
• Avoid using detergents or other
cleaners, as they can cause the surface
finish to deteriorate. This may lead
to the formation of cracks or other
imperfections. Also, do not use
chemically-enhanced cleaning cloths.
• Precautions concerning the use of polishing
agents
• Refer to the instructions that came with
the polishing agent for instructions on its
proper use.
• Use only polishing agents that are designed
specifically for use on the mirror finishes
of pianos. By using any other product,
you risk causing scratches, deformation,
discoloration, etc. To purchase an
appropriate product, please consult the
nearest musical instrument store.
• Use the product only on the portions of
this unit that have a mirror-like finish, and
using an even touch, apply it equally over
the entire surface. If you apply more force in
one place over another, you risk losing some
of the luster of the finish.
• Store in a location that is out of the reach
of small children. If accidentally ingested,
induce vomiting immediately. Then, see a
doctor to obtain a diagnosis.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be
sure to make a backup of the data stored
within it; or you may prefer to write down
the needed information. Although we will
do our utmost to preserve the data stored
in your unit when we carry out repairs, in
some cases, such as when the memory
section is physically damaged, restoration
of the stored content may be impossible.
Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has
been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost
as the result of equipment failure, incorrect
operation, etc. To protect yourself against
the irretrievable loss of data, try to make
a habit of creating regular backups of the
data you've stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has
been lost.
• 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 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 others nearby, try to
keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels.
• The sound of keys being struck and
vibrations produced by playing an
instrument can be transmitted through a
floor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please
take care not to cause annoyance to others
nearby.
• When you need to transport the unit, pack
it in shock-absorbent material. Transporting
the unit without doing so can cause it to
become scratched or damaged, and could
lead to malfunction.
• Do not apply undue force to the music
stand while it is in use.
When opening/closing the lid or raising/folding
down the music rest, please be careful not to
get your fingers pinched between the movable
part and the panel. In places where small
children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions
when handling external memory devices.
Also, make sure to carefully observe all the
precautions that were supplied with the
external memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/
writing is in progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity,
discharge all static electricity from your
person before handling the device.
