Alesis HR-16 Instruction Manual page 2

PLEASE
READ
THIS
Concerning
the
backup
memory
of
the
HR-16 and MMT-8.
The backup memories
in
the
HR-16 and
the
MMT-8
are
non-volatile.
They
are protected
by a
lithium
cell
battery with
an expected
life
of 10
years.
This
means you can
turn
power
off
on
both
machines and
your
work
will
be
retained
in
memory.
However,
please
be aware
that
any computer based
device with
memory
backup can be
subject to losing
its
memory
at
any
time
for
the following
reasons:
1) If
power
is
interrupted,
even
briefly,
during
RECORD, ERASE,
or
LENGTH
CHANGE,
you
may
lose
all
memory
or
some
minute portion
of
memory.
This
is
possible
because
the
MMT-8
and HR-1
6's internal
computers
are
moving
information
around
in
memory
during
these operations.
A
power
surge, or
power
interruption
could
cause an unfortunate
memory
loss
during
these vulnerable operations.
2) Static electricity
can
also
cause a
full
or
partial
memory
loss.
Therefore,
it
is
recommended
that
you
frequently
backup any
important
work you
are involved
in.
It
is
a
simple
operation.
Please
make
it
a habitual part of
your use
of
the
HR-16 and MMT-8,
so
that
your enjoyment and
musical progress won't be
interrupted.
See
the sections
on
TAPE
in
this
Instruction
Manual.
