Roland 60S User Manual

 

291b

 

301

 

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any 

device that will generate line noise (such as an electric 
motor or variable lighting system).

 

307

 

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the 

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions 
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

 

351

 

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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 inter-
ference.

 

352

 

• 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” (p. 6).

• 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.

 

354b

 

• 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. 
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used 
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a 
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the 
same area of the unit for extended periods of time. 
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

 

355

 

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet 

area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

 

356

 

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain 

on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can 
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

 

357

 

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower 

vases) on the piano. 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.

 

358

 

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard or 

pedalboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as 
keys ceasing to produce sound.

 

359

 

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. 

Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the 
exterior finish.

 

401b

 

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is 

slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an 
equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the 
grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can 
damage the finish.

 

402

 

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any 

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or 
deformation.

 

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 on a floppy 
disk, 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.

 

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 losing important data, we recommend that you 
periodically save a backup copy of important data you 
have stored in the unit’s memory on a floppy disk.

 

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.

 

554

 

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

 

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.

 

557

 

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during 

normal operation.

 

558a

 

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, 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 (especially when it is late at night).

 

559b

 

•  When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-

absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing 
so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and 
could lead to malfunction.
