Important Notes

560

• Do not pull the music stand too far forward when setting/

releasing its latches.

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 infor-

mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-

turer of the cable.

Before Using Floppy Disks

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive

602

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from

vibration.

603

• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved

to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly

different than its former location. Rapid changes in the

environment can cause condensation to form inside the

drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the

drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the unit has

been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new

environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.

604

• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—

it will click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT

button firmly. Do not use excessive force to remove a disk

which is lodged in the drive.

605a

• Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress,

since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk,

rendering it unusable. (The disk drive’s indicator will

light up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading

or writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less

brightly lit, or be extinguished.)

606

• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or

down.

607

• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to

hold the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any

direction) while inserting it into the drive. Push it in

firmly, but gently. Never use excessive force.

608

• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert

only floppy disks into the disk drive. Never insert any

other type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any

other foreign objects inside the drive.

Handling Floppy Disks

651

• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of

magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is

required to enable storage of large amounts of data on

such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity,

please observe the following when handling floppy disks:

• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.

• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.

• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes

(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recom-

mended temperature range: 10 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).

• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields,

such as those generated by loudspeakers.

652

• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect

the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that

the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to

the WRITE position only when you wish to write new

data onto the disk.

653

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the

disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the

drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.

654

• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and

to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By

using a dirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the

disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.

655

• Disks containing performance data for this unit should

always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the

“Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive

on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the

HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s

drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the

“Write” position), when you perform any disk operations

using the other device’s disk drive (such as checking the

contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering

the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.
