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.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat

after long hours of consecutive use. This is

normal, and is not a cause for concern.

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.

• 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.

• When using the unit with it unmounted in

a rack, attach the included rubber feet (4)

if necessary. Placing the unit on a surface

without attaching its rubber feet might

cause the surface to be marred.

• Peel off the double-sided tape from the

rubber feet and affix the rubber feet at

the locations shown in the figure.

Maintenance

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol

or solvents of any kind, to avoid the

possibility of discoloration and/or

deformation.

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.

• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to

keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels.

• This unit allows you to switch images at

high speed. For some people, viewing such

images can cause headache, nausea, or

other discomfort. Do not use this unit to

create video that might cause these types

of health problems. Roland Corporation

will accept no responsibility for any such

health problems that may occur in yourself

or in viewers.

• Do not use connection cables that contain

a built-in resistor.

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.
