Power Supply
301
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, mi-
crowave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor.
Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is
used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunc-
tion or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to
use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply
noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
307
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
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.
352a
This device may interfere with radio and television recep-
tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
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 initiat-
ing 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.
354a
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near de-
vices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle,
or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
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.
360
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
401a
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.
402
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
Repairs and Data
452
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Im-
portant data should always be backed up on USB memory
or computer, 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.
Additional Precautions
551
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be ir-
retrievably 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 recommend that you periodi-
cally save a backup copy of important data you have stored
in the unit's memory on USB memory or computer.
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on USB memory or computer once
it has been lost. Roland Corporation and BOSS Corporation
assume no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
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.
554
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the con-
nector itself-never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid
causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
558a
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head-
phones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
561
Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5, BOSS
FV-500L, or FV-500H; sold separately). By connecting any
other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/
or damage to the unit.
562
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit.
The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be
extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on
cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
Before Using SD Cards
704
Carefully insert the SD card all the way in-until it is firmly in
place.
1. Push
2. Release your nger
705
Never touch the terminals of the SD card. Also, avoid get-
ting the terminals dirty.
708
SD cards are constructed using precision components;
handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the
following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity,
be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own
body before handling the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with
the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or
vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or
other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85 ºC).
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
