WARNING
Do not drop or subject to strong impact
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
Do not share an outlet with an unreasonable number
of other devices
Do not force the unit’s power-
supply cord to share an outlet with
an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when
using extension cords—the total
power used by all devices you have
connected to the extension cord’s
outlet must never exceed the power
rating (watts/amperes) for the
extension cord. Excessive loads can
cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
Do not use overseas
Before using the unit in a foreign
country, consult with your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed
on the “Information” sheet

At regular intervals, you should
unplug the AC adaptor and clean
it by using a dry cloth to wipe all
dust and other accumulations away
from its prongs. Also, disconnect the
power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain unused
for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the
power plug and the power outlet can
result in poor insulation and lead to
re.
