Inserting a disk

Insert the disk delicately into the disk drive, with the
label facing upwards and the metal part to the front.
Press it in as far as it will go.
Note: The iS35 incorporates a new type of disk drive
and you cannot hear "click" when the disk is inserted into
place.

Cleaning the heads

The disk drive read/write heads get dirty with use
and become less accurate. You can clean the heads
with a special cleaning disk, purchasable from any
computer or musical instrument store. Use a 3.5" DS
wet type head cleaning disk; and carefully follow the
instructions included with the cleaning disk.

Precautions

• Make a backup copy of the disks, in order not to
lose data forever in case of damage. If you have a
personal computer, you can keep a copy of the data
on its hard disk.

• Do not open the metallic shutter on the disk, and
do not touch the surface of the magnetic media
inside it. If the magnetic media becomes scratched
or soiled, it may cause irreparable damage.
• Do not leave a disk in the disk drive while trans-
porting the instrument: the read/write heads may
scratch the disk and ruin data.
• Keep the disks away from sources that generate
magnetic fields, for example televisions, refrigera-
tors, computers, monitors, speakers and transform-
ers. Magnetic fields can alter the contents of the
disks.
• Do not keep disks in very hot or humid places, do
not expose them to direct sunlight and do not store
them without use in dusty or dirty places.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the disks.
• After use, replace the disks in a case.
• Do not remove the disk or move the instrument
while the disk drive is operating (green led lit up).

Possible problems

• In exceptional cases, the disk can get stuck in the
disk drive. In order to avoid this happening, you
should only use disks of the best quality. If the disk
does get stuck, do not try to force it out using sharp
objects. Contact your local dealer or your nearest
KORG Service Center.
• Magnetic fields, dirt, humidity and usage can dam-
age data on disk. You can try to recuperate the data
with disk repair utilities for personal computers
(e.g. Norton Utilities or PC Tools). It is however, a
good idea to make a backup copy of data.
