IMPORTANT NOTES

Additional Precautions
•  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 on USB ash drives.
•  Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore 
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s 
memory and USB ash drives once it has been lost. 
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning 
such loss of data.
•  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.
•  Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
•  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.
•  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.
•  Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-5; sold 
separately). By connecting any other expression 
pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or 
damage to the unit.
•  Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not 
use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting 
to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the 
sound level to be extremely low, or impossible 
to hear. For information on cable specications, 
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
•  The usable range of D Beam controller will become 
extremely small when used under strong direct 
sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D 
Beam controller outside.
•  The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change 
depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of 
the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust 
the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of 
your location (p. 84).
Handling External Memories
•  Carefully insert the USB ash drives all the way 
in—until it is rmly in place.
•  Never touch the terminals of the USB ash drives. 
Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
•  USB ash drives are constructed using precision 
components; handle the cards carefully, paying 
particular note to the following.
•  To prevent damage to the cards from static 
electricity, be sure to discharge any static 
electricity from your own body before 
handling the cards.
•  Do not touch or allow metal to come into 
contact with the contact portion of the cards.
•  Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong 
shock or vibration.
•  Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed 
vehicles, or other such locations.
•  Do not allow cards to become wet.
•  Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
