Important Notes

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 3 and 4–6,
please read and observe the following:

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.

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.

308

• Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER

switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has
been completely disconnected from the source of power. If
you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the
POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the
power 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.

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.

354b

• 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.

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.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on

the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor
or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

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.

359

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.

Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.

Maintenance

401b

• 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.

Addition

• If water droplets should adhere to this device, immediately

wipe them off using a soft dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.

403

• 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.

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 in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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.
