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 allow any objects (e.g., flammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft
drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
..........................................................................................................
012b
Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC
adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page when:
The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the
plug has been damaged; or
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been
spilled onto the unit; or
The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
The unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
..........................................................................................................
013
In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for the
safe operation of the unit.
..........................................................................................................
014
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(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
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
..........................................................................................................
101b
The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so
their location or position does not interfere with
their proper ventilation.
..........................................................................................................
102c
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor
cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an
outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
103b
At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor 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.
..........................................................................................................
108d: Selection
If you need to move the instrument, take note of
the precautions listed below. At least two persons
are required to safely lift and move the unit. It
should be handled carefully, all the while keeping
it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect
yourself from injury and the instrument from
damage.
Check to make sure the screws securing the unit
to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them
again securely whenever you notice any
loosening.
Disconnect the power cord.
Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
Remove the lid.
Remove the music stand.
..........................................................................................................
109b
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 10).
..........................................................................................................
110b

not get your fingers pinched (p. 11). Adult super-
vision is recommended whenever small children
use the unit.
..........................................................................................................
118
Should you remove the caps, screws and cord
cramps, make sure to put them in a safe place out
of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them
being swallowed accidentally.

IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
301
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
302
When the AC adaptor is used for extended periods, both
the adaptor itself, and the area around the F-100’s DC In
connector will become somewhat warm; however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
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 inter-
ference.
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 initi-
ating 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.
354b
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.
Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used
while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a
piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the
same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
355
To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
356
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can
discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
357
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower
vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the
unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
358
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.
359
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling these off, particularly when strong adhesives have
been used, can damage the instrument’s exterior finish
(the stickers provided with this instrument feature a weak
adhesive).
Maintenance
401b
To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is
slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an
equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the
grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can
damage the finish.
402
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Additional Precautions
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
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.
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.
557
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
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).
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
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
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 infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.

Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano F-100.
In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the
time to read through this manual in its entirety.
Main Features
Refined Wood Grain, Compact Design
The simple design and light wood grain finish is at home
both in the living room as well as in the children’s room.
And at a compact about 300 millimeters deep, it fits in
perfectly with other furniture.
Authentic Piano Performances
High-quality concert grand piano tones, along with the
Progressive Hammer Action keyboard, which gives more
realistic piano touch by providing a heavier feel in the low
end and a lighter feel in the upper notes, let you enjoy truly
authentic piano performances. The two pedals are securely
attached to the piano, ensuring that they will be stable when
operated.
High-Performance Two-Box Speaker
Construction
The lateral speaker box features two independent left and
right speaker boxes, providing unexpectedly superior
volume and sonic quality.
The speakers can also be directed rearward if conditions
require.
A variety of practice features to help
you develop your musicality
In addition to a metronome, the F-100 provides functionality
that is possible only for an electronic piano, making it an
instrument that is ideal for piano lessons: a “rhythm
function” that encourages a natural sense of rhythm, and a
“two-track recorder” that lets you record and listen to your
own playing.
Tones For Use in a Wide Variety of
Musical Genres
The F-100 offers twenty different onboard tones, including
piano, which can be used for almost every conceivable style
of music.
Includes High-Quality Reverb
The Reverb effect can duplicate the ambience of a concert
hall.
Sixty Internal Piano Songs
The instrument comes with a selection of classical piano
songs, which can be used for lesson, or be played for your
listening enjoyment.
Keyboard Touch Can Be Set to Match
Finger Strength
You can change the keyboard touch so it better suits the
finger strength of the person playing the keyboard.

Introduction
Assembling the F-100
Make sure that another person is on hand to help with the assembly and setup.
To move the piano, lift it carefully—all the while keeping it level. Be very careful, when you assemble and
move the piano, to make sure that you do not drop it on your hands or feet.
Always carry out this procedure with the F-100 lying horizontally, with the rear panel facing down.
Check the Parts
Before you begin assembling the F-100, check that all the
parts were supplied.
You will also need to have a Phillips screwdriver.
fig.st1
The speaker box can also be installed so that it faces toward
the rear instead of toward the front. Having the speaker box
face out the rear of the instrument allows the speakers to be
directed toward listeners when the back of the instrument
faces the audience.
fig.stsp
Assembly Procedure
At first, assemble the entire unit in a temporary fashion,
without really tightening the screws.
Then, after checking the overall alignment of the boards
(and gently shifting certain parts where necessary), go
around and tightly fasten each of the screws.
Be careful when assembling the F-100, so as to avoid
scratching the side panels.
When securing the screws, lay the entire unit sideways
with the rear side of the F-100 at the bottom.
1.
Tighten the screws on one of the side panels to
secure that side panel the F-100 and speaker box
(four locations).
Install so that the speaker cable at the rear of the speaker
box extends to the right side (the side where the F-100’s
[Power] switch is located).
fig.st02-2
2.
Align the projection of the pedal board with the
hole in the side panel, and use a screw to fasten
the pedal board (one location).

Before You Play
Connecting the AC Adaptor
NOTE
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.
1.
Connect the supplied AC adaptor and AC cord.
fig.00-02
2.
Connect the AC adaptor to the DC In connector
on the rear panel.
3.
As shown in the diagram, loop the AC adaptor
cord around the cord hook to fasten it in place.
fig.00-01
4.
Plug the AC cord into a power outlet.
As necessary, cramp the AC adaptor cord with the cord
cramps (p. 7).
NOTE
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), to avoid
applying undue stress to the DC In connector, anchor the
power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the diagram.

Installing the Music Stand
1.
Assemble the music stand as shown in the
diagram.
fig.00-01
NOTE
When moving the piano, be sure to remove the music stand
as a safety precaution.
NOTE
Do not apply excessive force to the installed music stand.
Connecting Pedals
fig.00-03
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that
is not as strong as when otherwise played with the
equivalent strength.
This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic
piano.
Some tones are affected less than others.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations
continue to be added to the sound after you release from the
keys.
This is the same function as the right pedal of an acoustic
piano.
NOTE
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping.
The power of the F-100 must be turned off before inserting or
removing a pedal cord.
