Roland g-70 Owner's Manual

G-70 Music Workstation

• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be 

caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following 
whenever you handle the board.

• Before you touch the board, first grasp a metal object (such as a 

water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might 
have been carrying has been discharged.

• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid 

touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped and put 

the board back into it whenever you remove it from the instru-
ment.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screws. 

If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screws may be 
stripped.

• To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To 

tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before 

attempting installation or removal of the circuit board.

• When installing wave expansion boards, remove only the specified 

screws.

• Be careful that the screws you remove do not fall into the interior 

of the G-70.

• Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installing or remov-

ing a wave expansion board, be sure to replace the cover.

• Be careful not to cut your hand on the opening for installing the 

board.

• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection 

terminals.

• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it 

doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try 
again.

• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your 

work.

• Install only a circuit board of the Roland SRX series. Remove only 

the specified screws.

(1) Before installing a wave expansion board, turn off 

the power of the G-70 and all connected devices 
and disconnect all cables, including the G-70’s 
power cable.

(2) On the G-70, remove the screws shown in the fol-

lowing diagram and detach the cover. The cover is 
located on the bottom panel.

When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of 
newspapers or magazines and place them under the 
four corners. Always orient the G-70 in such a way 
that no buttons or controls get damaged.
When turning the G-70 upside-down, handle with 
care to avoid dropping it or allowing it to fall or tip 
over.

(3) Plug the connector of the Wave Expansion Board 

into the connector of the slot and at the same time 
insert the board holder through the hole of the 
wave expansion board.

(4) Use the installation tool supplied with the wave 

expansion board to turn the holders in the LOCK 
direction, so the board will be fastened in place.
