CAUTION
The unit and the AC adaptor should
be located so their location or position
does not interfere with their proper
ventilation.
This (SPD-SX) for use only with Roland
stand PDS-10 or an all-purpose clamp
APC-33. Use with other products is
capable of resulting in instability
causing possible injury.
Even if you observe the cautions given
in the owner’s manual, certain types
of handling may allow this product to
fall from the stand, or cause the stand
to overturn. Please be mindful of any
safety issues before using this product.
Always grasp only the plug on the AC
adaptor cord when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
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.
CAUTION
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.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
Never handle the AC adaptor or its
plugs with wet hands when plugging
into, or unplugging from, an outlet or
this unit.
Before moving the unit, disconnect the
AC adaptor and all cords coming from
external devices.
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the
power and unplug the AC adaptor from
the outlet (p. 15).

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
(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.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat
after long hours of consecutive use. This is
normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• 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.
• With the factory settings, the SPD-SX’s
power will automatically be switched off 4
hours after you stop playing or operating
the unit. If you don’t want the power to turn
off automatically, change the “AUTO OFF”
setting to “OFF” as described on p. 63.
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. 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.
• 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 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.
