• 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 SD cards, SDHC cards, computers, 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

• 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 SD cards, SDHC cards, computers, or USB ash drives.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, SD cards, SDHC cards, computers, or USB ash drives once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• 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.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Use only the specied expression pedal (Roland EV-5, BOSS FV-500L, BOSS FV- 500H; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

• 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. Before Using External Memories
