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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the
display.
• 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

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
aect the performance or functionality of the
product, and you may continue using it with
condence.
