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.
................................................................................................ 118a Should you remove nuts, washers, etc. keep

................................................................................................
291a In addition to the items listed under USING THE
UNIT SAFELY on page 23, please read and
observe the following:
Placement 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 temper- ature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
356 Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
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 impreg- nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After- wards, 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.
Additional Precautions 553 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.
556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp
the connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.
558a 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).
558d This instrument is designed to minimize the extra-
neous sounds produced when its played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.
The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.

CY-5_e.fm 4
When mounting the CY-5 on a cymbal stand, use ONLY the attachment set as shown below. fig.CY-03.j
1.
Mount the cymbal stopper as shown below.
The cymbal stopper keeps the cymbal from rotating, allowing proper function of the pad, and also prevents cables from winding around the stand.
2.
Attach the CY-5 so the Roland logo is positioned on the opposite side of the playing area.
3.
Tighten the felt washer and the wing nut.
Wing Nut tension
The wing nut should be tightened to allow the movement you desire. BUT, if it is too loose, double triggering may occur.
Use ONLY the included felt washer and wing nut. Standard, metal wing nuts found on most cymbal stands should never be used.
4.
Use the included connection cable and connect the output jack of the CY-5 to the trigger input jack of the percussion sound module.
Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the CY-5.
To make use of edge shot and choking play techniques, youll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots (p. 6).
921
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
5.
Secure the cable with the provided cable tie.
Leave enough slack, so that the cymbal can still move
freely, without pulling on the cable.
6.
For the CY-5 to function correctly, the trigger type and trigger parameters in the sound module must be adjusted. See Page 6.
