Caution When Turning The Power Off - Yamaha DME8i-C Owner's Manual

Controls and Connectors
4 [ERROR] Indicator
Lights when an error occurs. The [PEAK] indicators reflect
the type of error. The [ERROR] indicator flashes when the
battery charge is getting low.
5 [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] Indicator
Lights orange when the power is supplied correctly to the
DME Satellite. It flashes while the device is operating as a
CobraNet conductor. If the secondary (backup) connector
on the DME Satellite is connected (page 21), the indicator
turns off every three seconds to indicate an abnormality on
the primary connection.
NOTE

Refer to for information on the primary and secondary
connectors.
6 [LINK/ACTIVITY] Indicator
Lights up steadily or flashes slowly when cables are connect-
ed correctly to the CobraNet connectors. It flashes rapidly
while the unit is transferring data onto the network correctly.
If the secondary (backup) connection is being used for com-
munication, the indicator turns off every three seconds to in-
dicate an abnormality on the primary connection.
7 [PEAK] Indicators
Light red when the signal level at the corresponding built-in
analog audio inputs or outputs ([INPUT] or [OUTPUT]
connectors) reaches or exceeds -3 dBFS. They also indicate
an error number or status.
8 [SIGNAL] Indicators
Light green when the signal level at the corresponding built-
in analog audio inputs or outputs ([INPUT] or [OUTPUT]
connectors) reaches or exceeds -40 dBFS. They also indicate
the status, for example, of the initialization process.
NOTE
Remove the transparent protective film that was applied to the
indicator panel prior to shipment from the factory.
9 [POWER] Switch
Turns mains power to the device on and off. The DME Sat-
ellite will start up with the same scene settings that were active
when it shut down. You can use the "Last Mem. Resume" set-
ting in DME Designer to set up the DME Satellite so that at
startup it will recall the scene selected before you turned off
the power to the device.
• If "Last Mem. Resume" is set to ON, the unit will back
up data to the internal memory periodically. In this
case, do not turn off the power to the unit within five
CAUTION
(5) seconds after you operate any parameters.

This indicates that data is being written into internal mem-
ory, and part of the data may be damaged if you turn off the
power at this time. Data writing will occur during the fol-
lowing operations.
• While shifting to on-line operation
• While storing or recalling or deleting scene memory
• While saving changes to the Utility settings
• While using the DME File Storage function to transmit/
receive or delete files
• While updating the firmware, or while reverting to the
