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.
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.
• Depending on the material and
temperature of the surface on which you
place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor
or mar the surface.
• 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.
• When using the unit with it unmounted in
a rack, attach the included rubber feet (4)
if necessary. Placing the unit on a surface
without attaching its rubber feet might
cause the surface to be marred.
• Peel off the double-sided tape from the
rubber feet and affix the rubber feet at
the locations shown in the figure.
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 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
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use connection cables that contain
a built-in resistor.

when handling external memory devices.
Also, make sure to carefully observe all the
precautions that were supplied with the
external memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/
writing is in progress.
• To prevent damage from static
electricity, discharge all static electricity
from your person before handling the
device.
