Turning Off the Keyboard

•Be sure to press the POWER button to turn off power and make sure that the LCD backlight is off before disconnecting the AC adaptor or doing anything else.

•Never disconnect the AC adaptor while the keyboard is turned on or try to turn off power using any other technique besides pressing the POWER button. Doing so can cause the contents of the keyboard’s Flash memory to become corrupted. Strange keyboard operation and abnormal startup when power is turned on are symptoms of corrupted Flash memory contents. See “Troubleshooting” on page E-106 for more information.

•The keyboard will not turn off if you press the POWER button while a user data store, a system initialization, a SmartMedia card format, or a floppy diskette format (WK- 3500 only) operation is being performed. Wait until the ongoing operation is complete and then press the POWER button again to turn off the keyboard.

Memory Contents

In addition to the above settings, data stored in the Registration Mode and Song Memory Mode is also retained when keyboard power is turned off.

Saving Setups and Memory Contents

About Flash memory

Your keyboard comes with built-in Flash memory, which can continue to hold data even when electrical power is totally cut off. This means that even after batteries go completely dead, you can attach the AC adaptor, turn on power, and still recall data stored in memory.

You can back up keyboard memory contents and other data using the media described below.

•SmartMediaTM CardSee “Using a SmartMedia Card” on page E-93.•Floppy Diskette (WK-3500 only)See “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-3500 Only)” on page E-94.

IMPORTANT!

•When running under battery power, be sure to replace batteries as soon a possible after the first signs of low battery power (dim power indicator lamp, dim display characters, etc.) Though the keyboard’s Flash memory is non-volatile (which means that data is not lost when power is interrupted), data can be lost if power suddenly fails while data is being written to flash memory*.

*While storing or deleting user data, while recording with the synthesizer, while transferring data from a computer, etc.

Initializing the Keyboard

Use the procedure on page E-80 to initialize the keyboard, which clears all memory data and returns settings to their initial factory defaults.
