USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING
Concerning the Auto O function
The power to this unit will be turned o
automatically after a predetermined amount of
time has passed since it was last used for playing
music, or its buttons or controls were operated
(Auto O function). If you do not want the power
to be turned o automatically, disengage the Auto O function
(p. 3).
Use only the stand that is recommended
This unit should be used only with a stand that is
recommended by Roland.
Do not place in a location that is unstable
When using the unit with a stand recommended
by Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so
it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using
a stand, you still need to make sure that any
location you choose for placing the unit provides
a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it
from wobbling.
Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a stand
Be sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s
Manual carefully when placing this unit on a stand
(p. 3).
If it is not set up properly, you risk creating an
unstable situation which could lead to the unit
falling or the stand toppling, and may result in injury.
WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with
the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specied
on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors
may use a dierent polarity, or be designed
for a dierent voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the
supplied power cord must not be used with any
other device.
CAUTION
Use only the specied stand(s)
This unit is designed to be used in combination
with specic stands (KS-13, KS-11Z) manufactured
by Roland. If used in combination with other
stands, you risk sustaining injuries as the result of
this product dropping down or toppling over due
to a lack of stability.
CAUTION
Evaluate safety issues before using stands
Even if you observe the cautions given in the
owner’s manual, certain types of handling may
allow this product to fall from the stand, or cause
the stand to overturn. Please be mindful of any
safety issues before using this product.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
¹ Place the AC adaptor so that the side with text is downward.
Placement
¹ 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.
¹ Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface.
Care of the Keyboard
¹ 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.
¹ Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to
remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may
cause discoloration.
¹ 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 o, wipe using gradually increasing
amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.

¹ 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

Additional Precautions
¹ 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, be sure to make a backup
of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to write down the
needed information.
¹ Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any
stored content that has been lost.
¹ Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
¹ The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by
playing an instrument can be transmitted through a oor or
wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause
annoyance to others nearby.
¹ Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor.
Using External Memories
¹ Please observe the following precautions when handling
external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe
