IMPORTANT NOTES
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 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.
310
• 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
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 unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit 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.
354a
• 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. 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.
360
• 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.
361
• 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
401a
• 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.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to
make a backup of the data stored within it; or you
may prefer to write down the needed information.
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
551
• 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, try to make a habit of creating regular
backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
552
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
553
• 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.
556
• 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.
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
558
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in
shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit
without doing so can cause it to become scratched
or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.
568
• 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.
