Power Supply

Turning Off the Keyboard

• Be sure to press the POWER button to turn off power and
make sure that the LCD backlight is off before disconnecting
the AC adaptor or doing anything else.
• Never disconnect the AC adaptor while the keyboard is
turned on or try to turn off power using any other technique
besides pressing the POWER button. Doing so can cause
the contents of the keyboard's Flash memory to become
corrupted. Strange keyboard operation and abnormal
startup when power is turned on are symptoms of
corrupted Flash memory contents. See "Troubleshooting"
on page E-95 for more information.
IMPORTANT!
• While the following message is on the display, never
turn off the keyboard by pressing the POWER button,
disconnecting the AC adaptor, etc.
(message) "Pls Wait" or "Bulk In"
Turning off the keyboard while the above message is
on the display can cause user data (user tones, song
memory data, etc.) currently stored in keyboard memory
or on external media to become corrupted. Once
corrupted, you may not be able to recall the data again.

Memory Contents

In addition to the above settings, data stored in the
Registration Mode and Song Memory Mode is also retained
when keyboard power is turned off.
Saving Setups and Memory Contents
About Flash memory
Your keyboard comes with built-in Flash memory, which can
continue to hold data even when electrical power is totally
cut off. This means that even after batteries go completely
dead, you can attach the AC adaptor, turn on power, and still
recall data stored in memory.
You can back up keyboard memory contents and other data
using the media described below.

• SmartMedia Card

IMPORTANT!
• When running under battery power, be sure to replace
batteries as soon as possible after the first signs of low
battery power (dim power indicator lamp, dim display
characters, etc.) Though the keyboard's Flash memory
is non-volatile (which means that data is not lost when
power is interrupted), data can be lost if power suddenly
fails while data is being written to flash memory*.
* While storing or deleting user data, while recording
with the synthesizer, while transferring data from a
computer, etc.
Initializing the Keyboard
Initialization can be used to return keyboard parameters to
their initial factory default settings, or to delete all data
currently in keyboard memory. See page E-73 for more
information about initialization.
Returning the keyboard to its initial factory defaults
You can use the CD-ROM that comes with the keyboard and
your computer to return the keyboard's flash memory and
all of its parameters to their initial factory default settings.
See "Bundled CD-ROM Data" on page E-80 for details.
