Changing The Battery - DigiTech PDS-3500 The Midi Pedal Owner's Manual

MASTER RESETTING OF THE MEMORY
Sometimes it may become more convenient to clear the entire memory of all presets rather than
reprogram them. This may be the case when you add another effect unit in your effects chain, or replace
effects with an effects unit from a different manufacturer that requires different programming.
Resetting of the memory is accomplished by powering down the unit, placing the MODE SWITCH
in the OPERATE position, the DATA SWITCH in the MIDI CHANNEL position, and depressing only the
PRESET/INCREMENT foot switch while you apply power to the unit. The LED display will show "CLrd"
indicating that the memory has reset. All presets will be reset to PROGRAM CHANGE: 1, MIDI CHAN-
NEL: land PEDAL STATUS: DISABLED. Do not depress both foot switch pedals or just the BANK I
STORE foot switch pedal as you apply power to the PDS-3500 or the unit MAY BE DAMAGED.
CAUTION! MASTER RESETTING OF THE MEMORY COMPLETELY REMOVES ALL PREVIOUSLY
PROGRAMMED MATERIAL. BE CERTAIN THAT YOU MAKE A RECORD OF THE PRESETS YOU
WISH TO REPROGRAM INTO THE PDS-3500 BEFORE YOU RESET THE MEMORY

CHANGING THE BATTERY

The 9 volt battery backs up the programmed settings of the PDS-3500 in the memory when the pow-
er is removed from the unit. The operational life of the battery is judged to be over a year. However, it is
suggested that you replace the battery more often than that to prevent accidental loss of your pro-
grammed data. To replace the battery and avoid accidental loss of data: apply power to the PDS- 3500,
open the battery compartment and remove the old battery, replace with a new battery (EverReady® En-
ergizer® battery No. 522), close the battery compartment, and remove the power to the unit. It is abso-
lutely necessary to replace the battery with the power on to prevent the loss of your presets.
SUMMARY
The PDS-350D stores MIDI control data in 1,9B4 presets 64 banks x 31 presets. Each preset consists
of a MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE number, a MIDI CHANNEL number, and a PEDAL STATUS number.
END-OF-BANK and END-OF- PROGRAM markers allow you to limit the access range of the PDS-3500
so as to give you faster access to the presets you want. The BANK/PRESET OPERATING MODE allows
you to advance one preset at a time in a BANK. The BANK DUMP MODE transmits all of the presets in
that BANK at once allowing sophisticated music and effects setups at a single touch of the foot switch.
