Important Notes; Power Supply - Roland GAIA Synthesizer SH-01 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used
by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner),
or that contains a motor. 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.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
303a
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's power
consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use nickel metal
hydride batteries.
304a
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on
this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected.
This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers
or other devices.
307
• 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.
ADD
• If batteries are installed, disconnecting or reconnecting the power
cord at the AC outlet or disconnecting the DC plug from the unit's
rear panel while the power is on will cause the power to turn off.
You must turn off the power before you connect or disconnect the
power cord or AC adaptor.
Placement
351
• 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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not
use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• 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.
354a
• 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.
355b
• 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.
358
• 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.
360
• 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.

Maintenance
401a
• 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.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• 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 on a computer, 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 related 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.
