IMPORTANT NOTES
 
Additional Precautions
 
551
 
• 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 in another MIDI device 
(e.g., a sequencer).
 
552
 
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents 
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or in another 
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. 
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such 
loss of data.
 
553
 
• 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.
 
554
 
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
 
556
 
• 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.
 
557
 
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during 
normal operation.
 
558a
 
• 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 (especially when it is late at night).
 
558c
 
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors 
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not 
to allow such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, 
especially at night and when using headphones. Although 
the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is a 
minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when 
they’re struck, rubber heads tend to produce louder 
sounds compared to mesh heads. You can effectively 
reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by 
switching to mesh heads.
 
559a
 
• 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.
 
562
 
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using 
some other make of connection cable, please note the 
following precautions.
• 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 infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
