In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT

SAFELY” on pages 2 and 3, please read and observe

the following:

Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with

any device that will generate line noise (such as an

electric motor or variable lighting system).

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off

the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-

tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other

equipment containing large power transformers) may

induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the ori-

entation of this unit; or move it farther away from the

source of interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy

disk drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using

Floppy Disks” (p.5).

• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a

strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface.

• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration

while the drive is operating.

• 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 tempera-

ture extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor

the unit.

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 mild, non-abra-

sive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit

thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzene, 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 a flop-

py disk, 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.

Memory Backup

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s

memory circuits while the main power is off. When

this battery becomes weak, the message shown below

will appear in the display. Once you see this message,

have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as

possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To

have the battery replaced, consult with your dealer, or

qualified Roland service personnel.

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 recom-

mend that you periodically save a backup copy of

important data you have stored in the unit’s memory

on a floppy disk.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the

contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk, in

the unit’s memory or another MIDI device (e.g., a

sequencer) 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.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• 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.

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit

during normal operation.

• 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).

• 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.
