IMPORTANTS NOTES
Additional Precautions
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
loosing important data, we recommend that
you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit's
memory on a hard disk.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored on a
memory card 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.
555
• A small amount of noise may be heard from
the display during normal operation.
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.
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).
559a
• 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.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the
connection. If using some other make of
connection cable, please note the following
precautions.
• 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 specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• Depending on the conditions in which you
use the R-1, you may notice a slight sensation
of discomfort or roughness when touching the
R-1 itself or a metal part of a connected mic.
This is due to an extremely small electrical
charge which poses absolutely no danger to
the human body. If this bothers you, you can
use the R-1 on battery power as desired.
