IMPORTANT NOTES
Repairs and Data
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled
by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this
unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is
not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect
a power supply noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
Please be aware that all data contained in the units

memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up the USB
memory, or written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not
be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
Using USB Memories
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the units

power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer
to use batteries, please use the nickel hydrogen type.
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit;
or move it farther away from the source of interference.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing
to produce sound.
Maintenance
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock

or vibration.
Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed
vehicles, or other such locations.
Do not allow cards to become wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
Handling DVDs
Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty DVD
discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean
using a commercially available disk cleaner.
Strap Holder Precautions

Never unscrew the strap pins to avoid damaging
the Lucina AX-09s plastic housing, which eventually
compromises overall stability and safety.
To avoid dropping the unit and damaging it or causing
injuries to yourself or other people, be sure to doublecheck whether the supplied strap is securely attached to
the two pins before using the Lucina AX-09.
Roland recommends installing commercially available
strap locks for guitar to guard against damage and
injuries caused by the strap coming loose while your are
playing.
Additional Precautions
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 USB memory.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored on a USB memory
or the internal memory once it has been lost. Roland
Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss
of data.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using
its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to
malfunctions.
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
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 cables internal
elements.
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the
units 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).
