IMPORTANT NOTES
65
Placement
•  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 piece of felt 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.
•  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
•  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.
•  Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid 
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
•  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 backed up on USB ash drives, or 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
•  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 on USB ash drives.
•  Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that 
was stored in the unit’s memory or USB ash drives once it has been 
lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of 
data.
•  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.
•  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.
•  The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing 
an instrument can be transmitted through a oor or wall to an 
unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others 
nearby.
•  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.
•  Use only the specied expression pedal (EV series; sold separately). By 
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction 
and/or damage to the unit.
•  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 information on cable specications, contact the manufacturer of 
the cable.
•  The usable range of D-BEAM controller will become extremely small 
when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when 
using the D-BEAM controller outside.
•  The sensitivity of the D-BEAM controller will change depending on the 
amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you 
expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your 
location.
•  When opening/closing the USB ash drive cover, please be careful not 
to get your ngers pinched between the movable part and the panel. 
In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult 
provides supervision and guidance.
•  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.

drives.
