USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING
To completely turn o power to the unit, pull out
the plug from the outlet
Even with the power switch turned
o, this unit is not completely
separated from its main source of
power. When the power needs to
be completely turned o, turn o the power
switch on the unit, then pull out the plug
from the outlet. For this reason, the outlet
into which you choose to connect the power
cord’s plug should be one that is within easy
reach and readily accessible.
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. 21).
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. 7).
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.
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-18Z) 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.
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.
Handle the ground terminal carefully
If you remove the screw from the
ground terminal, be sure to replace
it; don’t leave it lying around where
it could accidently be swallowed by
small children. When refastening the screw,
make that it is rmly fastened, so it won’t
come loose.
