SOME USEFUL INFORMATION BEFORE STARTING
The rechargeable battery
The SK760/880 conserves the data in RAM after turning off, thanks to a rechargeable battery. The
battery is recharged while the instrument is turned on (not just plugged in!).
When the instrument is turned off, if the battery is at maximum charge level, the data in RAM is con-
served for about two weeks. The charge of the battery increases by one day for every hour the instru-
ment is left on, until the maximum level is reached. If the battery discharges, leave the instrument on for
at least 15 hours to recharge it completely.
To increase the efficiency of the rechargeable battery, repeat the complete recharging operation at least
once a month. In most cases, normal use of the SK760/880 will keep the battery charged.
WARNING- Sounds based on sample RAM (RAM
Backed Sample-RAM is installed. If the volatile Sample-RAM is installed, the Sounds and samples will be lost at
power down (much like typical computer memory). If desired, these Sounds can be reloaded from disk after
powering up the instrument again
