Power Supply

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.

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.

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

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.

This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not

use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

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.

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.

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.

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

unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise

harmfully affect the finish.

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

such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

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.

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this

unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish,

spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills

on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

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.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid

the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function

stored in memory may be lost when the unit is sent for servicing.

Important data should always be written down on paper. Roland

assumes no liability with respect to recovery of any lost data.

Additional Precautions

Please be aware that unit settings or the contents of the solo function

stored in 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 losing important data, we recommend that you periodically

write down on paper any important data you have stored in the unit’s

memory.

Roland Corporation assumes no liability with respect to recovery

of any lost unit settings or contents of the solo function stored in

memory.

Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders,

or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough

handling can lead to malfunctions.

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector

itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,

or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal

operation.

To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at

reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not

need to be concerned about those around you.

When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including

padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use

equivalent packaging materials.

Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that

incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables

can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear.

For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of

the cable.

No sound is output from this unit’s speaker or any external speaker

when the RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack is in use.

Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when transporting or

storing the unit.

For CUBE-80XL only

When connecting to an external speaker, make sure the speaker

conforms to the following specifications.

Impedance: 8 ohms or less

Allowable power input: 80 watts or greater

For CUBE-80XL only

Only use speaker cable to connect the speaker. Do not use any

shielded cable designed for use with guitars.

For CUBE-80XL only

Do not insert hands, fingers, etc, into the openings in the unit’s rear

panel. In particular, if the unit is to used in households with small

children, always provide adult supervision to ensure that children keep

their hands and feet out of these openings.
