• Before connecting this unit to other
devices, turn off the power to all
units. This will help prevent malfunc-
tions and/or damage to speakers or
other devices.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio
and television reception. Do not use
this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
353
• Observe the following when using
the unit’s floppy disk drive. For
further details, refer to “Before Using
Floppy Disks.”
• Do not place the unit near devices
that produce a strong magnetic
field (e.g., loudspeakers).
• Install the unit on a solid, level
surface.
• Do not move the unit or subject it
to vibration while the drive is
operating.
354a
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible
to restore the contents of data that
was stored on a floppy disk once it
has been lost. Roland Corporation
assumes 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.
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.
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.
Before Using Floppy Disks
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive
602
• Install the unit on a solid, level
surface in an area free from
vibration.
604
• To insert a disk, push it gently but
firmly into the drive—it will click into
place. To remove a disk, press the
EJECT button firmly. Do not use
excessive force to remove a disk
which is lodged in the drive.
606
• Remove any disk from the drive
before powering up or down.
607
• To prevent damage to the disk
drive’s heads, always try to hold the
floppy disk in a level position (not
tilted in any direction) while inserting
it into the drive. Push it in firmly, but
gently. Never use excessive force.
608
• To avoid the risk of malfunction
and/or damage, insert only floppy
disks into the disk drive. Never insert
any other type of disk. Avoid getting
paper clips, coins, or any other
foreign objects inside the drive.
Handling the Floppy Disks
651
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk
with a thin coating of magnetic
storage medium. Microscopic
precision is required to enable
storage of large amounts of data on
such a small surface area. To
preserve their integrity, please
observe the following when handling
floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium
inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in
dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to
temperature extremes (e.g., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle).
Recommended temperature range:
10 to 50˚C (50 to 122˚F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to
strong magnetic fields, such as
those generated by loudspeakers.
652
• Floppy disks have a “write protect”
tab which can protect the disk from
accidental erasure. It is recom-
mended that the tab be kept in the
PROTECT position, and moved to the
WRITE position only when you wish
to write new data onto the disk.
fig.DiskProtect.e
653
• The identification label should be
firmly affixed to the disk. Should the
label come loose while the disk is in
the drive, it may be difficult to
remove the disk.
654
• Store all disks in a safe place to
avoid damaging them, and to
protect them from dust, dirt, and
other hazards. By using a dirty or
dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging
the disk, as well as causing the disk
drive to malfunction.
