[Power Supply] # Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units; this will help prevent damage or malfunction. # Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise; an electric motor or variable lighting system for example. # The power supply required for this unit is shown on its nameplate (rear panel). Ensure that the line voltage in your installation meets this requirement. # Avoid damaging the power cord; do not step on it, place heavy objects on it, etc. # When disconnecting the AC adaptor from the outlet, grasp the plug itself; never pull on the cord. # If the unit is to remain unused for a long period of time, unplug the power cord. # When installing or replacing batteries, refer to "BATTERY REPLACEMENT" (page 12). [Placement] # Do not subject the unit to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Avoid using or storing the unit in dusty or humid areas. # This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers. [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 mild, neutral, 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 risk of discoloration and/or deformation. [Additional Precautions] # Protect the unit from strong impact. # Do not allow objects or liquids of any kind to penetrate the unit. In the event of such an occurrence, discontinue use immediately. Contact qualified service personnel as soon as possible. # Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. # Should a malfunction occur, or if you suspect there is a problem, discontinue use immediately. Contact qualified service personnel as soon as possible. # To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not open the unit. The unit does not contain any user serviceable parts. [Changing Batteries] # Avoid using new batteries together with old ones. Also avoid mixing different types of batteries (e.g., regular carbon and alkaline batteries). # When replacing batteries, be sure to insert them correctly (ensure correct polarity). # Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. ■PANEL DESCRIPTIONS < Front Panel > o Number Pedals ( 1 to 5 ) © Number Indicators ( 1 to 5 ) © Number Shift Pedal O Number Shift Indicators ( A/B ) 0 Bank Display 0 Dot o Bank Shift Buttons ( UP/DOWN ) < Rear Panel > £0 © O © Ö © O °©° BOSS - LOMTKA CMAMBt - 0 Cable Hook 0 AC Adaptor Jack 0 Power Switch ® Bank Shift Jacks ( UP/DOWN ) Control Pedal Jack 1/2 ® Expression Pedal Jack 1/2 ® MIDI OUT Connector ♦ When using an expression pedal with the FC-50, be sure to use a Roland EV-5 or BOSS EV-10.
