003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within
it (except when this manual provides specific instruc-
tions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an autho-
rized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information"
page.
..........................................................................................................
004
• Never use or store the unit in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight
in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of
heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
007
• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level
and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that
could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
..........................................................................................................
013
• In households with small children, an adult should
