WARNING
Turn off the unit if an abnormality or malfunction
occurs
Immediately turn the unit off,
remove the AC adaptor from the
outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page when:
• The AC adaptor, the power-
supply cord, or the plug has been
damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs; or
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid
has been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain
(or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to
operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.
Adults must provide supervision in places where
children are present
When using the unit in locations
where children are present, be
careful so no mishandling of the
unit can take place. An adult should
always be on hand to provide
supervision and guidance.
Do not drop or subject to strong impact
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not share an outlet with an unreasonable
number of other devices
Do not force the unit’s power-
supply cord to share an outlet with
an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when
using extension cords—the total
power used by all devices you have
connected to the extension cord’s
outlet must never exceed the power
rating (watts/amperes) for the
extension cord. Excessive loads can
cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
Do not use overseas
Before using the unit in a foreign
country, consult with your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
CAUTION
Place in a well ventilated location
The unit and the AC adaptor should
be located so their location or
position does not interfere with their
proper ventilation.
Grasp the plug when connecting or disconnecting
the AC adaptor
Always grasp only the plug on the
AC adaptor cord when plugging into,
or unplugging from, an outlet or this
unit.
Periodically clean the AC adaptor’s plug
At regular intervals, you should
unplug the AC adaptor and clean
it by using a dry cloth to wipe all
dust and other accumulations away
from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of
time. Any accumulation of dust
between the power plug and the
power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
Manage cables for safety
Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords
and cables should be placed so they
are out of the reach of children.
Avoid climbing on top of the unit, or placing heavy
objects on it
Never climb on top of, nor place
heavy objects on the unit.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adaptor with
wet hands
Never handle the AC adaptor or
its plugs with wet hands when
plugging into, or unplugging from,
an outlet or this unit.
Disconnect everything before moving the unit
Before moving the unit, disconnect
the AC adaptor and all cords coming
from external devices.
Unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet before
cleaning
Before cleaning the unit, turn it off
and unplug the AC adaptor from the
outlet (p. 24).
If there is a possibility of lightning strike, disconnect
the AC adaptor from the outlet
Whenever you suspect the possibility
of lightning in your area, disconnect
the AC adaptor from the outlet.
CAUTION
Take care not to get fingers pinched by lid
Be careful so you don’t get your
fingers pinched when you handle
any moving parts such as the
following. Adult supervision is
recommended whenever small
children use the unit.
• Expression Pedal (p. 20)
Keep small items out of the reach of children
To prevent accidental ingestion
of the parts listed below, always
keep them out of the reach of small
children.
• Removable Parts
USB Cap (p. 23)
Handle the ground terminal carefully
If you remove the screw from the
ground terminal, be sure to replace
it; don’t leave it lying around where
it could accidently be swallowed by
small children. When refastening the
screw, make that it is firmly fastened,
so it won’t come loose.
