USING THE UNIT SAFELY

IMPORTANT NOTES

WARNING

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. 28).

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. 2).

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.

WARNING

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 (*1)

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.

CAUTION

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.

Cautions when moving this unit

Since this product is very heavy, you must

make sure that a sucient number of people

are on hand to help, so you can lift and move

it safely, without causing strain. Make sure

to have a rm grip, to protect yourself from

injury and the instrument from damage. If you need to

move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed

below.

• Check to make sure the Knob Bolt securing the unit to

the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again

securely whenever you notice any loosening.

• Disconnect the power cord.

• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.

• Remove the music stand.

Keep small items out of the reach of children

listed below, always keep them out of the

reach of small children.

Placement

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys

ceasing to produce sound.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the

surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may

discolor or mar the surface.

Care of the Keyboard

• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other

implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on

the instrument. Ink will seep into the surface lines and

become unremovable.

• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You may be

unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives,

and the adhesive may cause discoloration.

• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available

keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start

by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come o, wipe

using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while

taking care not to scratch the keys.

make a habit of creating regular backups of the data

you’ve stored in the unit.

of any stored content that has been lost.

• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced

by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a

oor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care

not to cause annoyance to others nearby.

is in use.
