V-Accordion FR-18 diatonic
• Do not force the FR-18 diatonic’s power-supply cord to
share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when using extension
cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to
the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause
the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
...................................................................................................................................
• Before using the FR-18 diatonic in a foreign country,
consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page.
...................................................................................................................................
• Batteries must never be heated, taken apart, or thrown
into fire or water.
...................................................................................................................................
• Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
...................................................................................................................................
• Incorrect handling of batteries, rechargeable batteries, or
battery charger can cause leakage, overheating, fire, or
explosion. Before use, you must read and strictly observe
all of the precautions that accompany the batteries, rechargeable
batteries, or battery charger.
When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use only the
combination of rechargeable batteries and charger specified by
battery manufacturer.
• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so its
location or position does not interfere with their proper
ventilation.
...................................................................................................................................
•Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when
plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
...................................................................................................................................
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor
and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and
other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, discon-
nect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to
remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation
of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in
poor insulation and lead to fire.
...................................................................................................................................
• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entan-
gled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they
are out of the reach of children.
...................................................................................................................................
• Never climb on top of, or place heavy objects on the unit.
...................................................................................................................................
• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this
unit.
...................................................................................................................................
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and
all cords coming from external devices.
...................................................................................................................................
• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug
the AC adaptor from the outlet (see p. 15).
....................................................................................................................................
•Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your
area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
....................................................................................................................................
•If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and
cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please
read and observe the following precautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for bat-
teries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In
addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel
to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery com-
partment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of
the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto
your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of
the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the
affected area with running water if any of the discharge has
entered the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ball-
point pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
....................................................................................................................................
• Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with
whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be
observed in the region in which you live.
....................................................................................................................................
• Keep any button caps and screws you may remove in a
safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance
of them being swallowed accidentally.
