Maintenance
• 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.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained
in the unit’s memory may be lost when
the unit is sent for repairs. Important data
should always be backed up USB flash drives,
computer, or written down on paper (when
possible). During repairs, due care is taken
to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain
cases (such as when circuitry related to
memory itself is out of order), we regret that
it may not be possible to restore the data,
and Roland assumes no liability concerning
such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of
memory can be irretrievably lost as a
result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself
against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save
a backup copy of important data you have
stored in the unit’s memory on USB flash
drives, or a computer.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to
restore the contents of data that was stored
in the unit’s memory or USB flash drives once
it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes
no liability concerning such loss of data.
• 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 connecting / 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 your neighbors, try to
keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
You may prefer to use headphones, so you
do not need to be concerned about those
around you.
• This instrument is designed to minimize
the extraneous sounds produced when it’s
played. However, since sound vibrations
can be transmitted through floors and walls
to a greater degree than expected, take
care not to allow these sounds to become
a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
using headphones.
• When you need to transport the unit,
package it in the box (including padding)
that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you
will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors.
Do not use cables that incorporate resistors
for connecting to this unit. The use of such
cables can cause the sound level to be
extremely low, or impossible to hear. For
information on cable specifications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
• The explanations in this manual include
illustrations that depict what should typically
be shown by the display. Note, however,
that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g.,
includes newer sounds), so what you actually
see in the display may not always match
what appears in the manual.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is
treated with a preservative to maintain its
performance. With the passage of time, this
preservative may appear on the surface as
a white stain, or reveal how the pads were
struck during product testing. This does not
affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it
with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration
of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s
function.
Before Using USB Flash Drives
• Carefully insert the USB flash drives all the
way in—until it is firmly in place.
USB flash drive
• Never touch the terminals of the USB flash
drives. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
• USB flash drives are constructed using
precision components; handle the cards
carefully, paying particular note to the
following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static
electricity, be sure to discharge any static
electricity from your own body before
handling the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into
contact with the contact portion of the
cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to
strong shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in
closed vehicles, or other such locations.
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
