About Functional Ground Terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, mics connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects .
This is due to an infi nitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless . However, if you are concerned about this,
connect the ground terminal (see fi gure) with an external ground . When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation . If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page .
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fi re or explosion)
