USING THE UNIT SAFELY

WARNING
To completely turn off power to
the unit, pull out the plug from
the outlet
Even with the power switch
turned off, this unit is not
completely separated from
its main source of power.
When the power needs to be
completely turned off, turn off the power
switch on the unit, then pull out the plug
from the outlet. For this reason, the outlet
into which you choose to connect the
power cord's plug should be one that is
within easy reach and readily accessible.
Concerning the Auto Off function
The power to this unit will be
turned off automatically after
a predetermined amount of
time has passed since it was
last used for playing music, or
its buttons or controls were operated (Auto
Off function). If you do not want the power
to be turned off automatically, disengage
the Auto Off function (p. 14).

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement
• 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.
• 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.
• Depending on the material and
temperature of the surface on which you
place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor
or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth
under the rubber feet to prevent this from
happening. If you do so, please make
sure that the unit will not slip or move
accidentally (F-130R).
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.
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.

WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor
and the correct voltage
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 supplied power cord
Use only the attached power
cord. Also, the supplied power
cord must not be used with any
other device.
CAUTION
Disconnect the power plug
whenever the unit will not be used
for an extended period of time
Fire may result in the unlikely
event that a breakdown occurs.
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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to
the display.
• 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.
• Do not apply undue force to the music
stand while it is in use (RP401R).
• When opening or closing the lid, 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.
• Do not hang anything other than
headphones on the headphone hook.
Do not apply undue force to the hook.
Otherwise, you risk damaging the hook.
Using External Memories

when handling external memory devices.
Also, make sure to carefully observe all
the precautions that were supplied with
the external memory device.

electricity, discharge all static
electricity from your person before
handling the device.
