Important notes
/n addition to the items /isted under "Using the unit safe/y" on p. 7, p/ease read and observe the following:
Power supply
o
Do not connect this unit to' same electrical ou llet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is con troll ed by an inverter
(such as a re frigera to r, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditionerl, or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the electrical appliance is used, powe r supply noise may
cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is
not practica l to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power
supply noise filter between this unit and the electrica l oullet.
o
The AC adaptor wi ll begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
o
Th e use of the supp lied AC ada ptor is recommended as the unit's
powe r consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batte ri es, please use the rechargeab le Ni-MH type.
o
When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power
on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have con -
nected. This way, you can prevent malfu nctio n and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
o
Before connecting th is unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will hel p prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
Placem ent
o
Using the unit nea r power amp lifie rs (or othe r equipment contain-
ing large power trans formers) may induce hum. To al leviate the
problem, change the orientation of th is unit; or move it fa rther
away from the source of interference.
o
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicin ity of such receivers.
o
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of th is unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a ca ll, or whi le conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such
wireless devices
50
they are at a greater distance from this unit, or
sw itch them off.
o
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise sub-
ject it to temperature ext rem es. Excessive heat can deform or dis-
color the unit.
o
When moved from one location to another where the temperatu re
and/or humidity is very different, water drople ts (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 al low it to stand for severai hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
o
Do not all ow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be
the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
o
Depending on the material and tempe rature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar tlle
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to pre-
vent this from happening. If you do
50,
please make sure that the
unit will not slip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
o
For everyday cleaning wipe the FR-3x with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a mild, non -abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to
wipe the instrument thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
o
Never use benzine, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avo id the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and data
o
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 USB memory or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due ca re is taken to avoid the loss
of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circu itry related
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be pos-
sible to restore the data, and Roland Europe S.p.a. assumes no lia-
bility concerning such loss of data.
Precautions for batteries (not supplied)
o
The temperature range for use of the batteries depends on the
battery type being used. Please see the documentation that came
with tlle batteries.
o
Do not use or store batteries at high temperature, such as in
strong direct sun light, in ca rs during hot weather or directly in
front of heaters. This may cause battery fluidleakage, impaired
per fo rman ce and shorten the batteries' service li fe.
o
Do not splash fresh or sa ltwate r on a battery or allow tlle termi-
nals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and forma-
tion of rus t on the battery and its term inal s.
o
If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or seem
abnorma l in any other way, do not use them. Take them back to
you r dealer.
o
Keep the batteries out of reach of ba bies or small chi ldren.
o
Be sure to carefu lly instruct any person on the proper way of Ilan-
dling a battery.
o
Never dispose of the battery in a fire. Never heat it. Doing
50
may
melt the insulation, damage the gas release vents or protective
devices, cause combustion through chemical reaction with gener-
ated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid, bursting or fire.
o
Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-l termi-
nals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause abnorm al
chemical reactions.
o
Do no strike or drop the batteries. Strong impact can cause leak-
age of battery fluid, heat gene ra tion, bursting or fire.
o
Never try to connect seve rai batte ries in parallel as th is may cause
leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
o
Do not alter or remove protective mechanisms or other parts.
Never disassemble Ille batteries.
o
If any flu id from a battery comes in contact with the eyes, flu sh
the eyes immediately, washing them thorough ly with clean water
from a tap or othe r sou rce and consu lt a doctor. Strong alkal ine
fluid can damage the eyes and lead to permanent loss of eyesight.
o
If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the bat-
tery, wasll the area immediately with clean water from a tap. Bat-
tery fluid can cause skin damage.
o
When a battery is no longer usable, dispose of it in accordance
with all applicable locallaws and regulations.
o
If a battery leaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in any
other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat generation,
bursting or fi re.
Aclclitional preca utions
o
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably
lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the
unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of impor-
tant data you have stored in the unit's memory to a USB memory.
o
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored on a USB memory once it has been lost. Roland
Europe S.p.a. assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
