Using Memory Cards - Yamaha S90 Owner's Manual

Using Memory Cards

In the Card mode, you can use a Memory Card
(commercially available SmartMedia™ cards) for saving
and loading data from/to the instrument, as well as
perform other data-exchange operations. With the
included File Utility software, you can use a computer to
manage data on Memory Card. You can also use it to
exchange data between the computer and Memory Card.
Never attempt to remove/insert the Memory Card in the
card mode.
n To select the Song file you wish to play, use the Sequence
Play mode. In the Card mode, designate the folder that
includes the Song files for playback (page 83).
Handling the Memory Card
(SmartMedia™*)
Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow
the important precautions below.
* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
Compatible Memory Card Type
3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory
Cards are not compatible with this instrument.
Memory Capacity
There are seven types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/
8MB/16MB/32MB/64MB/128MB.
Inserting/Removing Memory Cards
To insert a Memory Card:
Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section
(gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and
forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully
insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it
all the way in until it is fitted in place.
• Don't insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.
• Don't insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot.
To remove a Memory Card:
Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm
that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being
accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory
Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being
accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears
on the instrument's display.
* This includes saving, loading, formatting and deleting.
Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically
access the Memory Card to check the media type when
it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card
and possibly the Memory Card itself.

Using Memory Cards
Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it
must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on
it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is
unnecessary or not, beforehand.
n The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument
may become unusable with other instruments.
About Memory Cards
Handle Memory Cards with care!
There are times when static electricity affects Memory
Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch a metal object,
such as a door knob and aluminum sash.
Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory
Card slot when it is not in use for a long time.
Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend
or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way.
Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card
or put any metallic plate onto the metal part.
Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers,
motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or
completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it
unreadable.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are
attached in the proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect):
To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick
the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card
package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of
the Memory Card. To save data on the Memory Card,
make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the
Card. Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.
Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one
Memory Card is lost or damaged.
Burglarproof Lock
This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock
for the Memory Card. If necessary, mount the
burglarproof lock onto the instrument.
To mount the burglarproof lock:
1 Remove the metallic part using a Phillips
screwdriver.
2 Turn the metallic part upside down and then mount
it again.
