IMPORTANT NOTES
Additional Precautions
551
• 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
in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or
another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been
lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• 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.
558a
• 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 (especially when it is late at
night).
558c
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through
floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take
care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance to
neighbors, especially at night and when using
headphones. Although the drum pads and pedals are
designed so there is a minimal amount of extraneous
sound produced when they’re struck, rubber heads
tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh
heads. You can effectively reduce much of the
unwanted sound from the pads by switching to mesh
heads.
559a
• 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.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If
using some other make of connection cable, please note
the following precautions.
• 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.
