Important notes
/n addition to the items /isted under "Using the unit safe/y" on p. 7, p/ease read and observe the following:
Power supply
o Do not connect this unit to ' same electrical ou llet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is con tro ll ed by an inverter
(such as a re f rigera to r, was hing machine , microwave oven, or air
co nditionerl, or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in
which the el ectrical a ppliance is used, powe r supply noise may
cause this un it to malfunction or may p roduce audib le noise. If it is
not practica l to use a separate electri cal outl et, connect a power
supply noise filter between t his unit and the electrica l oullet.
o The AC adaptor wi ll begin to generate heat after l ong hours of
consecutive use. This is norma l, and is not a cause for concern.
o Th e use of the supp l ied AC ada p to r is recommended as the unit's
po we r consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batte ri es, please u se the recharge ab le Ni-MH type.
o When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power
on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have con -
nected. This way, you can prevent ma l fu nc tion and/or damage to
speakers or other dev i ces .
o Before connecting th is unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will he l p prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speake rs or other devices.
Placem ent
o Using the unit nea r power amp li fie rs (or othe r equipment contain-
ing large power t rans forme r s) may induce hum. To al l eviate the
problem, change the orientation of th is unit; or move it fa rther
away from the source of interference.
o This device may interfere wi th radio and telev isi on reception. Do
not use this dev i ce in the vicin ity of such r eceivers.
o Noise may be produced if w ir eless communications devices, such
as cell phones, are operated in the vic ini ty of th is unit. Such noise
could occur when receiving or initiating a ca ll , or whi le conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such
wire l ess devices 50 they are at a greater distance fr om this unit, or
sw i tch them off.
o Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, pl ace it near devices th at
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle , or otherwise sub-
ject it to temperature ext rem es. Excessive heat can deform or dis-
color the unit.
o When moved from one location to another where the temperatu re
and/or humidity
is very different, water drop le ts (condensat i on)
may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Th erefore, before
using the unit, you must al l ow it to stand for severai hours, until
the condensation has completely evaporated.
o Do not a ll ow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be
the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
o Depending on the material and tempe r ature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar tlle
surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to pre-
vent this
from happening. If you do 50, please make sure that the
unit will not sl ip or move accidentally.
Maintenance
o For everyday cl eaning wipe the FR-3x with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt,
use a mild, non - abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to
wipe the instrument thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
o Never use benzine, thinner, al cohol or solvents of any kind, to
avo id the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and data
o Please be aware that a ll data contained in the unit's memory may
be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should
al ways be backed up on a USB memory or wr itten down on paper
(w hen possible). During repairs, due ca re is taken to avoid the l oss
of data . H oweve r, in certain cases (such as when circu itry related
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be pos -
sible to restore the data, and Roland Europe S.p.a. assumes no lia-
bility
concerning such loss of data.
Precautions for batteries (not supplied)
o The temperature r ange for use of the batteri es depends on the
battery type being used. Please see the documentation that came
wi th tlle batteries.
o Do not use or store batteries at high tempe rature, such as in
strong direct sun light, in ca rs during hot weather or directly in
front of
heate r s. This ma y cause battery fluidleakage, impaired
per fo rman ce and shorten the batteries' se rv ice li fe.
o Do not splash fr es h or sa lt wate r on a battery or allow tlle termi-
na ls to become damp. This may cause heat generation and forma-
tion
of rus t on the battery and i ts term inal s.
o If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or seem
abnorma l in any other way, do not use them. Take them back to
you r dealer .
o Keep the batteries out of reach of ba bies or small chi l dren.
o Be sure to carefu ll y instruct any person on the proper way of Ilan-
dling
a battery.
o Never dispose of the battery in a fire. Never heat i t. Doing 50 may
melt the insulation, damage the gas r elease vents or protective
devices, cause combust i on through chemical reaction with gene r-
ated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid, bursting or fire.
o Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-l termi-
nals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause abnorm al
chemical reactions.
o Do no strike or drop the batteri es. Strong impact can cause leak-
age of battery fl uid, heat gene ra tion, bursting or fire.
o Never try to connect seve rai batte ri es in parallel as th is may cause
leakage of battery flui d, heat generation, bursting or fire .
o Do not alter or remove protective mechanisms or other parts.
Neve r disassemble Ille batteries.
o If any flu id from a battery comes in contact with the eyes, f lu sh
the eyes immediately, washing them thoroughly wi th clean water
from a
tap or other sou r ce and consu lt a doctor. Strong alkal i ne
fluid can damage the eyes and lead to permanent l oss of eyesight.
o If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the bat-
tery, wasll the area immediately with clean water from a tap. Bat-
tery
fluid can cause skin damage.
o When a battery is no l onger usable, dispose of it in accordance
with all applicable locallaws and regulations.
o If a battery l eaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in any
other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat generation,
bursting
or fi r e.
Aclclitional pr eca utions
o 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 impor-
tant
data you have sto r ed in the unit's memory to a USB memory.
o Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that w as stored on a USB memory once it has been lost. Roland
Europe S.p.a. assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
