IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 -3, please read and observe the
following:

Power Supply

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off

the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device 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.

358

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the

keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such
as keys ceasing to produce sound.

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 impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After-
wards, 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

• 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 in
another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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

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
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.

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).

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.
