Using the unit safely
• Before using this instrument, be sure to read the instruc-
tions below, and the Owner’s Manual.
.................................................................................................
• Connect the mains plug of this model to a wall outlet
with a protective earthing connection.
.................................................................................................
• Do not open or perform any internal modifications on
the unit.
.................................................................................................
• Do not attempt to repair the E-80, or replace parts within
it (except when this manual provides specific instructions
directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
.................................................................................................
• Never use or store the E-80 in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight
in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of
heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
.................................................................................................
• This unit should be used only with a stand that is rec-
ommended by Roland, such as the KS-12.
.................................................................................................
• Make sure you always have the unit placed in such a way
that it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
.................................................................................................
• The instrument should only be connected to a power
supply of the type described in the operating instruc-
tions, or as marked on the E-80.
.................................................................................................
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord,
producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged
cords are fire and shock hazards!
................................................................................................
• This instrument, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a
high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If
you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears,
you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult
an audiologist.
................................................................................................
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to
penetrate the unit.
................................................................................................
• In households with small children, an adult should pro-
vide supervision until the child is capable of following all
rules essential for the safe operation of the E-80.
................................................................................................
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
................................................................................................
• Do not force the E-80’s power cord to share an outlet
with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be espe-
cially 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 rat-
ing (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and
eventually melt through.
