IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• 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
lter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and
is not a cause for concern.
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,
always make sure to turn o the power on all your
equipment before you make any connections.
• With the factory settings, this unit will
automatically be switched o 30 minutes after
you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t
want the unit to turn o automatically, change the
“Auto O ” setting to “OFF” as described on p. 35.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (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.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• 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 o.
• 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.
• When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,
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.
• Do not put anything that contains water on this
unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit.
Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft 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 to USB ash drives, or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken
to avoid the loss of data. However, in cer tain 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 to USB ash drives.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s
memory or on 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.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• 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. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be
concerned about those around you.
• Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through
oors and walls to a greater degree than expected,
take care not to allow such sound to become a
nuisance to others nearby. 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
eectively reduce much of the unwanted sound
from the pads by switching to mesh heads.
• 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.
• 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 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.
Before Using External Memories
• Carefully insert the USB ash drives all the way
in—until it is rmly in place.
Top panel
• Never touch the terminals of the USB ash drives.
Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
• USB ash drives are constructed using precision
components; handle the USB ash drives carefully,
paying particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static
electricity, be sure to discharge any static
electricity from your own body before handling
the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into
contact with the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong
shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed
vehicles, or other such locations.
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
Handling CDs / DVDs
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty
CD discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs
clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.
