Roland FP-9 - Important Notes

IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2
and 3, please read and observe the following:
roe Supply
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
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.
Placement
This device may interfere with radio and_ television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
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.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are
used while their light source is very close to the unit
(such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine
upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower
vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, ete., near the
unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
This device has built-in speakers. By putting floppy disks
or the like on this device, you risk losing the data on
them.
By putting this device on a table or the like, it becomes
hard to hear the sounds from the speakers on the bottom
of it. Use the recommended stand (FPS-9; sold
separately).
Maintenance
The Wooden Parts (Both Ends of This Unit)
To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth. Try to wipe the
entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving
the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too
hard in the same area can damage the finish.
The Other Parts
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit witha 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.
Additional Precautions
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unil’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its
jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
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.
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
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).
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.
Do not apply excessive force to the front or back of the
installed music stand.
Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals,
you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
