Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical 
outlet that is being used by an electrical 
appliance that is controlled by an inverter or a 
motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, 
microwave oven, or air conditioner). Depending 
on the way in which the electrical appliance is 
used, power supply noise may cause this unit 
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. 
If it is not practical to use a separate electrical 
outlet, connect a power supply noise lter 
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or 
other equipment containing large power 
transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate 
the problem, change the orientation of this 
unit; or move it farther away from the source of 
interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television 
reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of 
such receivers.
• 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 o.
• When moved from one location to another 
where the temperature and/or humidity is very 
dierent, 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.
• 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.
• Depending on the material and temperature 
of the surface on which you place the unit, its 
rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. 
• Do not place containers or anything else 
containing liquid on top of this unit. Also, 
whenever any liquid has been spilled on the 
surface of this unit, be sure to promptly wipe it 
away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or 
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of 
discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be 
sure to make a backup of the data stored 
within it; or you may prefer to write down the 
needed information. Although we will do our 
utmost to preserve the data stored in your 
unit when we carry out repairs, in some cases, 
such as when the memory section is physically 
damaged, restoration of the stored content 
may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability 
concerning the restoration of any stored 
content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost 
as the result of equipment failure, incorrect 
operation, etc. To protect yourself against the 
irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit 
of creating regular backups of the data you’ve 
stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the 
restoration of any stored content that has been

• When 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 others nearby, try to keep 
the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• When disposing of the packing carton or 
cushioning material in which this unit was 
packed, you must observe the waste disposal 
regulations that apply to your locality.
