In

addition

to

the

items

listed

under

Safety

Precautions

inside

the

front

cover,

please

read

and

observe

the

following:

Power

Supply

@

Before

connecting

this

unit

to

other

devices,

turn

off

the

power

to

all

units;

this

will

help

prevent

damage

or

malfunction.

@

Do

not

use

this

unit

on

the

same

power

circuit

with

any

device

that

will

generate

line

noise;

an

electric

motor

or

variable

lighting

system

for

example.

Placement

@

This

device

may

interfere

with

radio

and

television

reception.

Do

not

use

this

device

in

the

vicinity

of

such

receivers.

@

Make

sure

you

always

have

the

instrument

placed

so

it

is

level

and

sure

to

remain

stable:

Otherwise,

if

played

while

tilted,

you

risk

causing

damage

to

the

keyboard

as

a

result

of

the

unnatural

degree

of

force

that

might

be

applied

to

certain

parts

of

it.

Maintenance

@

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

mild,

non-abrasive

detergent.

Afterwards,

be

sure

to

wipe

the

unit

thoroughly

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

@

Never

use

benzene,

thinners,

alcohol

or

solvents

of

any

kind,

to

avoid

the

possi-

bility

of

discoloration

and/or

deformation.

Memory

Backup

@

Please

be

aware

that

the

contents

of

memory

may

at

times

be

lost;

when

the

unit

is

sent

for

repairs

or

when

by

some

chance

a

malfunction

has

occurred.

Important

data

should

be

stored

on

a

floppy

disk,

or

written

down

on

paper

(if

possible).

During

repairs,

due

care

is

taken

to

avoid

the

loss

of

data.

However,

in

certain

cases

(such

as

when

circuitry

memory

itself

is

out

of

order),

we

regret

that

it

may

not

be

possible

to

restore

the

data.

Additional

Precautions

@

Protect

the

unit

from

strong

impact.

@

Never

strike

or

apply

strong

pressure

to

the

display.

@

A

small

amount

of

heat

will

radiate

from

the

unit

during

normal

operation.

@

Before

using

the

unit

in

a

foreign

country,

consult

with

qualified

service

General

MIDI

System

The

General

MIDI

System

is

a

set

of

recommendations

which

seek

to

provide

a

way

for

going

beyond

the

limitations

of

proprietary

designs,

and

standardize

the

MIDI

capabilities

provided

by

sound

generating

devices.

If

you

use

a

sound

generating

unit

which

carries

the

General

MIDI

logo,

you

will

be

able

to

faithfully

reproduce

any

song

which

also

carries

the

The

GS

is

Roland’s

universal

set

of

which

were

formulated

in

the

interest

of

standardizing

the

way

in

which

sound

generating

devices

will

operate

when

MIDI

is

used

for

the

performance

of

music.

If

you

use

a

sound

unit

which

carries

the

GS

logo,

you

will

be

able

to
