IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY NOTES

Observe these important preliminary notes before using your instrument.

AVOID PLACING DISKS NEAR MAGNETS - Do not place floppy disks on top of speakers, near mag- nets, telephones or other sources of electromagnetic fields. The disk contents could be damaged.

UPDATEABLE OPERATING SYSTEM - two disks containing the operating system are supplied with the instrument. The disks can contain a more recent version of the operating system than the one contained in the instrument’s Flash ROM.

To load the operating system contained in the floppy disks:

(1)turn off the instrument, (2) insert OS-disk 1 in the drive, (3) turn on the instrument, (4) When the message “Loading OS-DISK clears ALL MEMORY !! < Enter to load / Escape to abort >” appears, press ENTER to start the OS update, (5) when the message, “INSERT NEXT OS-DISK please < Enter to load >” appears, extract the first disk, insert OS-Disk 2 and press ENTER to continue (6) when the operation is complete, the instrument sets to the default Style/Preset situation. After completing this process, proceed with the reset that follows below to ensure proper operation. Remember to extract the second disk and store both OS-disks in a safe place.

SYSTEM RESET

SYSTEM RESET - If the data contained in the instrument’s memory has been damaged, either by being exposed to the effects of a strong magnetic field, or other unknown reason, the instrument may not operate properly. The remedy is a System Reset:

(1)press and hold the UPPER 1 selector button located to the right of the LCD display, (2) simultane- ously press the three buttons 2, 3 & 4 of the PROGRAMMABLE PADS section while still holding the UPPER 1 selector button, (3) the message «System Reset» appears for an instant then the instrument resets to the factory-set situation. All user-programmed data is irremediably lost.
