The temperature indicator shows the temperatures with an increment of 3℃ in the order
of 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, and 52 from the bottom lamp (green) to the top lamp (red).
* In manual mode, the temperature may vary according to the room temperatures, since the ON and

Materials of Cap Used
For the salon service using the hot double‑process perming agents or the acidic hair dyes (acidic color), use the polyethylene cap.
Since the polyethylene cap can transmit infrared rays, the infrared thermal sensor can correctly measure the hair temperature,
thereby enabling correct temperature control.
If any part of the customers body or clothes is caught between the main unit and the ring of the Roller Ball during operation,
the rotation clutch mechanism of the ring will work to stop rotation and prevent danger.
Safe Rotation Function of Ring
The use of caps, except those made of polyethylene, may cause abnormal temperature increases.
When such caps are used, be sure to use the product in manual mode.
If the head of the customer is misaligned from the beginning of the operation, an alarm will sound about
three minutes after initiation of operation, and the error code will be displayed.

Place the top of the head approximately 12 cm away from the
pivot of the ring and approximately 24 cm away from the
infrared thermal sensor.
(Approximately 5 cm between the nape guard and the nape).
Position the nape guard 5 cm away from the customer's nape
and set it at the center of the nape.
Move the chair up or down according to the seating height
of the customer or move the Roller Ball main unit up or down
to adjust the height.
When setting the product, be careful that the product and the dryer arm do not contact the
surrounding equipment or personnel. Furthermore, when moving the product, be sure to hold it by
the grip; move the product slowly and carefully. Failure to heed this warning may lead to breakage

<Rotation of the Ring>
Home position
When the alarm sounds, ask the customer to
return to the correct position.
In the COLOR, PERM, and TREATMENT modes, the ring rotates about four times per minute over the customer's head.
The rotation of the ring not only warms the entire head evenly, but makes the customer feel that the heating is mild.
Ring Rotation
After using the product, move it to a position where the salon works are not interrupted. Leaving the
product in the operating position may cause the product to contact other devices or personnel
resulting in breakage of the product.
Misaligned position alarm! When the product is operated with the customer in the correct
position, the infrared thermal sensor directly measures the
customer's head temperature to control it to the preset temperature.
However, if the head has moved significantly during operation,
the infrared thermal sensor will detect it and the alarm will sound.
When this happens, the current remaining time and the code
will blink alternately on the display panel.
If the misaligned head position warning alarm is left unattended,
the unit may fail to maintain the correct temperature, and this may
cause an unsatisfactory results. When the warming alarm sounds,
be sure to ask the customer to move back into the correct position.
When the customer's head is in the correct position, the error state
is cancelled.

control panel
Is the power plug correctly
inserted into the wall outlet?
Is the power switch turned on?
Is the fuse on the distribution
panel or the breaker switch in
the salon in the ON position?
Is the problem rectified when the
power plug is disconnected and
then inserted again?
Insert the power plug firmly into the wall outlet.
Turn ON the power switch.
Set the fuse on the distribution panel or the
turn ON the breaker switch.
Immediately stop using the product,
turn off the power switch, disconnect the

Turn off the power switch, and contact the
nearest dealer or Takara Belmont directly.
There is an odd smell
from the heater.
There are clicking
sounds from the ring.
It has become necessary to set
a lower temperature than
previously in order to achieve
the same results.
(The temperature is higher
than before.)
If dust, dirt, or chemicals adhere to the heater or
the reflector, the fouling will cause a transient
fire and will emit smoke. When the amount of
fouling is minute, the smoke will stop when the fire
burns out, causing no damage to the product. If the
fouling is substantial or the smoke does not stop,
turn off the power switch and contact the nearest
dealer or Takara Belmont directly.
Is a chemical adhered to the
heater or the reflection plate?
The heater expands when it gets hot, and
shrinks when it gets cold. The noise is caused
as certain parts come into contact with each
other. This is not a failure.
Is the sensor sheet contaminated?
Remove the contamination on the surface
of the sensor sheet according to the Section
"Care and Maintenance" on page 19. If the
problem is not be rectified, turn off the
power switch and contact the nearest
dealer or Takara Belmont directly.
The heater will not glow red.
*Depending on the thermal
control of the heater,
the heater may seem as
it is off.
Has the temperature around the
heater increased?
When the air around the heater becomes
warm, the heater has not failed. If the
temperature has not risen, stop using the
product, turn off the power switch,
disconnect the power plug, and immediately
contact the nearest dealer or Takara
Belmont directly.
There is friction noise from
the product while the ring is
rotating. The sound volume
or the tone quality sometimes
differs in a same product.
The head part of the product uses gears.
The sliding friction noise of the gears fluctuates
in terms of the tone quality and sound volume
by products. The fluctuation in tone quality and
the friction noise are not failures.
The ring wobbles during
rotation.
The head part of the product uses a motor.
The ring may wobble due to vibrations of the
motor, which is not a failure. Furthermore,
the level of wobbling differs depending on
the product.

When a problem cannot be rectified even if an inspection is made according to the table shown below, immediately
stop using the product, turn off the power switch, disconnect the power plug, and immediately contact the nearest

Check if the customer's head position is not
set too far away from the correct position.
(See page 11.)
If the error code appears continuously even
where the customers head set in the correct
position, turn off the power and contact the
nearest dealer or Takara Belmont directly.
Check if the customer's head position is not
set too far away from the correct position.
(See page 12.)
If the error code appears continuously even
where the customers head set in the correct
position, turn off the power and contact the
nearest dealer or Takara Belmont directly.
Check if the ring does not interrupt wall or
other equipment.
Move the product to the position where
the ring does not contact with wall or other
equipment, and turn off, then turn on the

Check if the Roller Ball is set in the correct
position properly.
When the customers head may be set too
far from the correct position, the infrared
thermal sensor detects heat from a
surrounding heater and so on, leading to
the error.
Turn on the power after setting the product
in the correct position. If this does not
rectify the symptom, turn off the power and
contact the nearest dealer or Takara
Belmont directly.
