Doing so may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. Entrust repairs to a trained service technician.
Be sure to follow the operation procedures described in the user’s manual. Never allow anyone unfamiliar with the usage or handling of the machine to touch it. Incorrect usage or handling may lead to an accident.
Never operate the machine while tired or after ingesting alcohol or any medication.
Operation requires unimpaired judgment. Operating with impaired judgment may result in an accident.

Danger of electrical short, electrical shock, or fire

WARNING
Connect to an electrical outlet that complies with this machine’s ratings (for volt‐age, frequency, and current).
Incorrect voltage or insufficient current may cause fire or electrical shock.
If sparks, smoke, burning odors, unusual sounds, or abnormal operation occur, immediately unplug the power cord. Never use if any component is damaged. Continuing to use the machine may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. Contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer.
Never use outside or in any location where exposure to water or high humidity may occur. Do not touch the power cord, plug, or electrical outlet with wet hands.
Doing so may result in fire or electrical shock.
Never allow any foreign object to get inside. Never expose the machine to liquid spills. Inserting objects such as coins or matches or allowing beverages to be spilled into the ventilation ports may result in fire or electrical shock. If anything gets inside, immediately disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer.
Never place any flammable object nearby. Never use a combustible aerosol spray nearby. Never use in any location where gases can accumulate.
Combustion or explosion could occur.
Handle the power cord, plug, and electrical outlet correctly and with care. Never use any article that is damaged.
Using a damaged article may result in fire or electrical shock.
When using an extension cord or power strip, use one that adequately satisfies the machine’s ratings (for voltage, frequency, and current).
Use of multiple electrical loads on a single electrical outlet or of a lengthy extension cord may cause fire.
Position the machine so that the power plug is within immediate reach at all times.
This is to enable quick disconnection of the power plug in the event of an emergency. Install the machine next to an electrical outlet. Also, provide enough empty space to allow immediate access to the electrical outlet.
For accessories (optional and consumable items, power cord, and the like), use only genuine articles compatible with this machine.
Incompatible items may lead to an accident.
Never use the machine for any purpose for which it is not intended, or use the machine in an excessive manner that exceeds its capacity.
Doing so may result in injury or fire.
Do not use the supplied power cord and AC adapter with any other product.
If the machine will not be used for a long period, disconnect the power cord.
This prevents an accident caused by unexpected electric leakage or unintentional start of the machine.
