IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

•  Before installing/removing batteries, make sure 

to turn off the power to this unit and disconnect 

all connections to other devices.

•  If the batteries run extremely low, the sound may 

distort, but this does not indicate a malfunction. 

If this occurs, please replace the batteries / use a 

USB AC adaptor.

•  If operating this unit on batteries, please use 

rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

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.

•  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.

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.

•  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.

Caution Regarding Radio Frequency 

Emissions

•  The following actions may subject you to penalty 

of law.

•  Disassembling or modifying this device.
•  Removing the certification label affixed to the 

back of this device.

•  Keep this product at least 22 cm away from a 

location where a cardiac pacemaker is installed. 

There is a risk that it could affect the operation of 

a pacemaker.
