 WARNING

To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug from the outlet

Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not completely 
separated from its main source of power. When the power needs to be 
completely turned off, turn off 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 Off function

The power to this unit will be turned off 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 Off 
function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically, 
disengage the Auto Off function (p. 14).

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 
specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a 
different polarity, or be designed for a different 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

Take care so as not to get fingers pinched

When handling the following moving parts, take care so as not to get 
fingers, etc., pinched. An adult should always be in charge of handling 
these items.

•  Pipes, arms, kick pedal, and hi-hat pedal (p. 4)

Keep small items out of the reach of children

To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts listed below, always keep 
them out of the reach of small children.

•  Removable Parts

Screws (p. 4)
Cap of the special connection cable

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.

•  Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater 

degree than expected, take care not to allow such sound to become a nuisance 
to others nearby. Although the drum pads and pedals are designed so there is 
a minimal amount of extraneous sound produced when they’re struck, rubber 
heads tend to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can 
effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads by switching to 
mesh heads.

•  This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when 

it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors 
and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds 
to become a nuisance others nearby.

•  When you operate the kick pedal or hi-hat pedal, please be careful not to get 

your fingers pinched between the movable parts. In places where small children 
are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.

•  The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative to 

maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may 
appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck 
during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of 
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.

•  Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect 

the Pad’s function.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

Please read this in conjunction with the leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY.”

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

•  Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place 

the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.  
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from 
happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move 
accidentally.

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 
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe 
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

•  The pedals of this drum set are made of stainless steel. Depending on the 

conditions of use, the stainless steel may rust. If rusting occurs, use commercially 
available metal polish to remove it.
