About ground terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a
discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch
when you touch this device. This is due to an infi nitesimal electrical charge,
which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this,
connect the ground terminal (see fi gure) with an external ground. When the
unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your
installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fi re or explosion)
