Using the unit safely
• Before using this instrument, read the instruc-
tions below and the Owner’s Manual.
• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its
AC adaptor.
• Do not attempt to repair the FR-1 or replace parts
within it (except when this manual provides spe-
cific 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 “Infor-
mation” page.
• Never use or store the FR-1 in places that are:
• 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
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
• Make sure you always have the FR-1 placed so it is
level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
When not in use, do not place the FR-1 vertically
due to instability. If placed in the vertical position
on the floor/stage, ensure that it leans against a stable ver-
tical surface e.g. a wall or a heavy musical instrument.
• 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 dif-
ferent voltage, so their use could result in damage, mal-
function, 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 adaptor cord,
nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can dam-
age the cord, producing severed elements and
short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
• This instrument, 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
FR-1 and consult an audiologist.
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft
drinks, etc.) to penetrate the FR-1.
• Immediately turn the power off, remove the
adaptor from the outlet and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Informa-
tion” page when:
• The AC adaptor’s cord or plug has been damaged; or
• Objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled onto
the FR-1; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has
become wet); or
• The FR-1 does not appear to operate normally or exhibits
a marked change in performance.
• In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is capa-
ble of following all rules essential for the safe
operation of the FR-1.
