Inserting or replacing the batteries
The AX-7 can be powered either by batteries or an optional AC adaptor. For live use, batteries are by far more
convenient, however.
Battery replacement
Six AA batteries are required to run the AX-7 on battery power. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries
because they will provide a more stable, long-lasting source of power. With alkaline batteries, you can expect
about 20 hours of continuous operation, although this depends on how the AX-7 is being used.
Note: Avoid using new batteries together with old ones. In
addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries (e.g. regu-
lar carbon and alkaline batteries).
Note: When replacing batteries, be sure to insert them cor-
rectly (ensure correct polarity).
Note: Remove the batteries whenever the AX-7 is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
(1) Switch off the AX-7.
(2) Remove the battery cover located on the bot-
tom of the instrument.
(3) Take out the battery holder, then insert the
six batteries supplied with the AX-7 (three on
either side).
(4) Insert the battery case and close the battery
cover.
Connecting an optional AC adaptor
Be sure to use only the specified AC adaptor (Roland
ACA series). Using any other type may cause mal-
function or electric shock.
Note: If the AX-7 is to remain unused for an extended period
of time, unplug the adaptor.
(1) Switch off the AX-7.
(2) First connect the AC adaptor to the AX-7’s DC
IN socket, then connect the large plug to a
power outlet.
3. The basics
(a) Press the tabs forward.
(b) Lift up.
