IMPORTANT NOTES
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 or a motor (such as a refrigerator, 
washing machine, microwave oven, or 
air conditioner). Depending on the way 
in which the electrical appliance is used, 
power supply noise may cause this unit 
to malfunction or may produce audible 
noise. If it is not practical to use a separate 
electrical outlet, connect a power supply 
noise lter between this unit and the 
electrical outlet.
307
•  To prevent malfunction and equipment 
failure, always make sure to turn o the 
power on all your equipment before you 
make any connections.
308
•  Although the LCD and LEDs are switched 
o when the unit is turned o, this 
does not mean that the unit has been 
completely disconnected from the source 
of power. If you need to turn o the power 
completely, rst turn o the unit’s 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 and readily accessible.
309
•  With the factory settings, the TD-30 will 
automatically be switched o 4 hours 
after you stop playing or operating the 
unit. If you don’t want the unit to turn o 
automatically, change the “AUTO OFF” 
setting to “OFF” as described on p. 124.
Placement
351
•  Using the unit near power ampliers (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 o.
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 dierent, 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.
361
•  Do not put anything that contains 
water on this 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.
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.
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. Important data 
should always be backed up USB ash 
drives, 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 irretrievably 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 periodically save 
a backup copy of important data you have 
stored in the unit’s memory on USB ash 
drives.
552
•  Unfortunately, it may be impossible 
to restore the contents of data that 
was stored in the unit’s memory or 
USB ash drives 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.
554
•  Never strike or apply strong pressure to 
the display.
556
•  When 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 others nearby, 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.
558d
•  This instrument is designed to minimize 
the extraneous sounds produced when it’s 
played. However, since sound vibrations 
can be transmitted through oors and 
walls to a greater degree than expected, 
take care not to allow these sounds to 
become a nuisance others nearby.
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
•  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 
specications, contact the manufacturer 
of the cable.
