In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on pages 2 and 3, please read and observe
the following:
Power Supply
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with
any device that will generate line noise (such as an
electric motor or variable lighting system).
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off
the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
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 device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy
disk drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using
Floppy Disks” (page 5).
- Do not place the unit near devices that produce a
strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).
- Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
- Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration
while the drive is operating.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it
near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an
enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to tempera-
ture extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor
the unit.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry
cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with
water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for
repairs. Important data should always be backed up
on a floppy disk, or written down on paper (when
possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as
when circuitry related to memory itself is out of
order), we regret that it may not be possible to
restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
Memory Backup
• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s
memory circuits while the main power is off. When
this battery becomes weak, the message shown
below will appear in the display. Once you see this
message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one
as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in
memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.

Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself
against the risk of loosing important data, we recom-
mend that you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit’s memo-
ry on a floppy disk.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk, in
the unit’s memory or another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• 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 connecting / 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 your neighbors, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be con-
cerned about those around you (especially when it is
late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in
the box (including padding) that it came in, if possi-
ble. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent
packaging materials.
