3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory

■
Memory Capacity
There are five types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/
16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacity
exceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the
standards of SSFDC (Solid State Floppy Disk Card: another

■
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 upward 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:
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.
■
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.
n
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.
