IMPORTANT NOTES
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 or a motor (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). 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.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is
not a cause for concern.
• If the unit has been used with a power supply that
has not been specified as suitable for the unit, the
subsequent performance and operation of the unit
can no longer be guaranteed. Also note that we
may not be able to accept the unit for servicing and
repairs.
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 unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit 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.
• 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 place containers or anything else containing
liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid
has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure
to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure
to make a written note beforehand of the data
stored in memory. Although we will do our utmost
to preserve the data stored in your unit when we
carry out repairs, in some cases, such as when the
memory section is physically damaged, restoration
of the stored content may be impossible. Roland
assumes no liability concerning the restoration of
any stored content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the
result of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc.
To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of
data, we recommend that you periodically write
down on paper any important data you have stored
in the unit’s memory.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• 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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When 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.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• This unit allows you to switch images at high speed.
For some people, viewing such images can cause
headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use
this unit to create video that might cause these
types of health problems. Roland Corporation
will accept no responsibility for any such health
problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.

• Please observe the following precautions when
handling a USB flash drive. Also, make sure to
carefully observe all the precautions that were
supplied with a USB flash drive.
• Do not remove a USB flash drive while reading/
writing is in progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity,
discharge all static electricity from your person
before handling a USB flash drive.
• When using a USB flash drive for the first time, be
