IMPORTANT NOTES
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2,
3 and 4, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
301
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device
that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable
lighting system).
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.
308
Although the LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is
switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been
completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to
turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,
then unplug the power cord from the power 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.
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 reception. 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 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.
354b
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting
devices that normally are used while their light source is very
close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to
shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355b
When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden-
sation) 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.
356
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
357
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on
the unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol,
nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any
liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
359
•Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling
such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
Do not allow objects to remain on top of the unit while it is in
operation.
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 deformation.
For routine care of the carpeted surfaces, use a brush with stiff
bristles.
Additional Precautions
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.
556
When connecting / 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.
557
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal
operation.
558a
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume
at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, 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.
562
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some
other make of connection cable, please note the following precau-
tions.
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.
When transporting and storing the KC-60, be sure to secure the
AC cord to the cord hook on the rear of the main unit.
