....................................................................................................................
004
Never install the unit in any of the following locations.
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating
duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
Subject to salt exposure; or are
•Humid; or are
Exposed to rain; or are
Dusty or sandy; or are
Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.
....................................................................................................................
005
This unit should be used only with a stand that is
recommended by Roland.
....................................................................................................................
006
When using the unit with a stand recommended by
Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level
and sure to remain stable. If not using a stand, you still
need to make sure that any location you choose for
placing the unit provides a level surface that will
properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.
....................................................................................................................
008c
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on the AC
adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different
polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their
use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric
shock.
....................................................................................................................
008e
Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the
supplied power cord must not be used with any other
device.
....................................................................................................................
009
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
....................................................................................................................
010
This unit, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long
period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that
is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using
the unit, and consult an audiologist.
....................................................................................................................
011

(Do not drop it!)
....................................................................................................................
015
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords—the
total power used by all devices you have connected to
the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
....................................................................................................................
016

bility causing possible injury.
....................................................................................................................
101f
Please be sure to read and adhere to the cautionary
notices contained in the instructions that came with
this product.
Please note that, depending on the manner in which
keyboard performances are carried out, you may
encounter situations where the keyboard falls off the
stand or the stand topples over, even though you
have followed all of the instructions and advice
contained within the product’s manual. For this
reason, you should always perform a safety check
each time you use the stand.
....................................................................................................................
102c
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or
this unit.
....................................................................................................................

and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and
other accumulations away from its prongs. Also,
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet
whenever the unit is to remain unused for an
extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust
between the power plug and the power outlet can
result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
....................................................................................................................
104
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming
entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed
so they are out of the reach of children.
....................................................................................................................
106
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the
unit.
....................................................................................................................
107c
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet
hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
301
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.
302
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
307
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
351
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.
352a
This device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them off.
354a
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.
355b
When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden-
sation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may
result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several
hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Maintenance
401a
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.
402
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory
may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data
should always be 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.
Additional Precautions
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.
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).
558c
Since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and
walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow
such sound to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially at
night and when using headphones. Although the drum pads
and pedals are designed so there is a minimal amount of extra-
neous sound produced when they’re struck, rubber heads tend
to produce louder sounds compared to mesh heads. You can
effectively reduce much of the unwanted sound from the pads
by switching to mesh heads.
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
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.
985
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced
version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what
you actually see in the display may not always match what
appears in the manual.
If there is a danger that you might accidentally strike the unit
during performance, adjust the locations at which Tom 1 (T1)
and Tom 2 (T2) are attached to the stand, to reduce the gap
between the pads.

BEFORE using the PDX-8 mesh pads you must adjust the tension.
You can tension mesh heads the same way you do with acoustic drums.
* Use a drum key to make adjustments.
Adjusting the tension of the PDX-8 head is only for playing response and will not affect the pitch as on an acoustic drum.
1. Use the included drum key to tighten the tuning
bolts.
Strike the head to check the feel and response.
fig.PDX8-Adj.eps
fig.PDX8-Bolt.eps
Tighten the tuning bolts in the numerical order shown in the
following illustration. If you firmly tighten a tuning bolt at
one location all at once, it will be impossible to stretch the
head evenly, and this may cause triggering response
problems.
2. Tension the head evenly as you test the playing
feel, just as you would with an acoustic drum.
Head tension may slacken with the passage of time. Readjust
the tension as needed.

fig.Play-CYBell.eps
* Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the stick.
Choking a Cymbal
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand immediately
after hitting the cymbal will mute or choke the sound, just like
with a real cymbal. The Choke function only works when you grasp
in the area (where the edge sensor is) as shown in the figure. If you
do otherwise, it will not work.
