■Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it
must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on
it will be erased. Be sure to check if the data is
unnecessary for you or not, beforehand.
The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may
become unusable with other instruments.
■About the Memory Cards
• To handle Memory Cards with care:
There are times when static electricity affects Memory
Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as
a door knob and aluminum sash.
Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card
slot when it is not in use for a long time.
Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or
apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way.
Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card
or put any metallic plate onto the metal part.
Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields, such
as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase
data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attached
in the proper location.
• To protect your data (Write-protect):
To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick
the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card
package) onto the designated area (within a circle) of
the Memory Card.
Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card,
make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card.
Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.
■Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
Memory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory
Card is lost or damaged.
■Burglarproof Lock
This instrument is equipped with a burglarproof lock
for the Memory Card. If necessity arises, mount the
burglarproof lock onto the instrument.
To mount the burglarproof lock:
1Remove the metallic part using a Phillips screwdriver.
2Turn the metallic part upside down and then
mount it again.
In Card Mode, you can use Memory Card, a SmartMedia™ card
available at a consumer electronics shop, etc., to save or load
data from/to the instrument or perform other data exchange
operations between memories on the instrument and the Card.
Using the included Card Filer software, you can use a computer
to manage data on Memory Card. You can also use it to
exchange data between the computer and Memory Card.

■Memory Capacity
There are five types of Memory Cards:

■Inserting/Removing Memory Cards
• To insert a Memory Card:
Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section
(gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and
forward, towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert
the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the
way in until it is fitted in place.
- Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.
- Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in
the slot.
• To remove a Memory Card:
Make sure to turn the instrument off and pull the Memory
Card out of the slot.
Always the instrument must be turned off before
removing the Memory Card.
However, if the Memory Card's memory is full and you
want to exchange it with a new one to save your
currently edited data, follow the following procedure:
Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm
that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not being
accessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card
out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is being
accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on
the instrument's display.
* It includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the Memory Card to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument/Memory Card
and possibly the Memory Card itself.
