Verifying the Version

Data Backup and Restore
Operations
The data shown below is stored on the microSD card on the Main Board, and
can be backed up on a computer. Go to the owner's manual and refer to
Connecting to Your Computer via USB (p. 14), and carry out the backup and
restore operations.
• WAV data
• RHYTHM pattern data
• RHYTHM ON/OFF data
• Beat data
• STOP MODE setting data
This data is not initialized when a factory reset is executed.
* The microSD card cannot be removed.
Virus Check
Before performing the backup, carry out a virus check on the microSD card. If
it has been infected by a virus, format it after obtaining permission from the
end user. For the formatting procedure, go to the owner's manual and refer to
Formatting the Internal Memory (p. 17).
* Formatting the microSD card deletes the customer's data.
Making Written Notes
The data shown below cannot be backed up or restored. If any values differ
from their initial values (factory-default values) shown below, refer to the
owner's manual (p. 8 and 17) and note them down on paper.
• Last selected phrase memory number (initial value: 1)
• Sleep mode setting (initial value: on)

value: rd)
This data is initialized when a factory reset is executed.

Performing a Factory Reset

that executing only a factory reset is not possible.

Formatting the microSD Card

When formatting the microSD card on the Main Board is necessary, go to the
owner's manual and refer to Formatting the Internal Memory (p. 17).
