Battery Handling - Roland V-Accordion FR-1 Guide Rapide

• To prevent an inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the
power cord using the cable strip, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
• Once the connections have been completed (see p. 11), turn
on power to your various devices in the order specified. By
turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
• This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief inter-
val (a few seconds) after power up is required before the
unit will operate normally.
• Expected battery life under continuous use: rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries (2100mA): ±5.5 hours. This figure will vary
depending on the actual conditions of use.
• In the interest of product improvement, the specifications
and/or appearance of this unit are subject to change with-
out prior notice.
• No data for the music that is played will be output from
MIDI OUT.
Precautions for optional batteries
• The temperature range for use of the batteries depends on
the battery type being used. Please see the documentation
that came with the batteries.
• Do not use or store batteries at high temperature, such as in
strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather or directly
in front of heaters. This may cause battery fluid leakage,
impaired performance and shorten the batteries' service
life.
• Do not splash fresh or saltwater on a battery or allow the
terminals to become damp. This may cause heat generation
and formation of rust on the battery and its terminals.
• If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or
seem abnormal in any other way, do not use them. Take
them back to your dealer.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of babies or small children.
• Be sure to carefully instruct any person on the proper way
of handling a battery.
• Never dispose of the battery in a fire. Never heat it. Doing
so may melt the insulation, damage the gas release vents or
protective devices, cause combustion through chemical
reaction with generated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid,
bursting or fire.
Roland FR-1 – Quick Start
• Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause
abnormal chemical reactions.
• Do no strike or drop the batteries. Strong impact can cause
leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire.
• Never try to connect several batteries in parallel as this may
cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or
fire.
• Do not alter or remove protective mechanisms or other
parts. Never disassemble the batteries.
• If any fluid from a battery comes in contact with the eyes,
flush the eyes immediately, washing them thoroughly with
clean water from a tap or other source and consult a doc-
tor. Strong alkaline fluid can damage the eyes and lead to
permanent loss of eyesight.
• If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the
battery, wash the area immediately with clean water from a
tap. Battery fluid can cause skin damage.
• When a battery is no longer usable, dispose of it in accor-
dance with all applicable local laws and regulations.
• If a battery leaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in
any other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat
generation, bursting or fire.

Battery handling

• Incorrect handling of batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a
battery charger can cause leakage, overheating, fire, or
explosion. Before use, you must read and strictly observe all
of the precautions that accompany the batteries, recharge-
able batteries, or battery charger. When using rechargeable
batteries and a charger, use only the combination of
rechargeable batteries and charger specified by the battery
manufacturer.
Strap holder precaution
• Never unscrew the strap holder rings to avoid damaging the
FR-1's plastic housing, which eventually compromises over-
all stability and safety.
