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.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
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.
• 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 lost.
• 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 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.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through oors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance others nearby.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage
of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as
a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during
product testing. This does not aect the performance or
functionality of the product, and you may continue using it
with condence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but
this will not aect the pad’s function.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions when handling
external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe
all the precautions that were supplied with the external
memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/writing is in
progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity, discharge all
static electricity from your person before handling the
device.
