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 filter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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 unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit 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 off.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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 allow objects to remain on top of the
keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such
as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
• 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
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/
or deformation.
Care of the Keyboard
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other
implement, and do not stamp or place any marking
on the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface lines
and become unremovable.
• Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be
unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives,
and the adhesive may cause discoloration.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially
available keyboard cleaner that does not contain
abrasives. Start by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not
come off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of
pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to
make a backup of the data stored within it; or you
may prefer to write down the needed information.
Although we will do our utmost to preserve the
data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs,
in some cases, such as when the memory section is
physically damaged, restoration of the stored content
may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability
concerning the restoration of any stored content that
has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the
result of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc.
To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of
data, try to make a habit of creating regular backups
of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the
restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• 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.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• 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 floor or wall to an unexpected
extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to
others nearby.
• Use only the specified expression pedal. By
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in
resistor.
Using External Memories
• Please observe the following precautions when
handling external memory devices. Also, make sure
to carefully observe all the precautions that were
supplied with the external memory device.
• Do not remove the device while reading/writing
is in progress.
• To prevent damage from static electricity,
discharge all static electricity from your person
before handling the device.
