IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
301
• 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 filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consec-
utive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
307
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn 
off the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use 
this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• 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 off.
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that 
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it 
to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/
or humidity is very different, 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.
360
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which 
you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You 
can place a V-Drums Mat (sold separately) or cloth under the rubber feet 
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the 
unit will not slip or move accidentally.
361
• 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
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has 
been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a 
cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be 
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the 
possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost 
when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be 
written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is 
taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when 
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may 
not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability 
concerning such loss of data.
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 written down on paper.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that 
was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corpo-
ration 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 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.
558
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the unit’s volume at 
reasonable levels.
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds 
produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be 
transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, 
take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance others 
nearby.
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
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incor-
porate 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 specifications, contact the manufacturer of the 
cable.
567
• When adjusting or folding up the stand, take due care so as not to get 
your fingers pinched between the movable parts and this unit. In places 
where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides 
supervision and guidance.
• 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 affect the performance or 
functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confi-
dence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not 
affect the Pad’s function.
985
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what 
should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit 
may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes 
newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always 
match what appears in the manual.
