Saving Your Performance

The performance data you record on the HPi-7 will be lost when you select another song or turn off
the power of the HPi-7. If you want to keep important performance data, you must save it to floppy
disks or Favorites.

If you will be using a disk drive for the first time, please be sure to read “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 6).

Using Floppy Disks

Inserting/removing a floppy disk

Inserting a floppy disk

With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert it into the disk drive
until it clicks into place.

Removing a floppy disk

1

Press the eject button.

The floppy disk will protrude from the disk drive. Grasp the edge of the floppy disk and gently pull it
out.

* Don’t try to eject the disk while reading or writing is in progress. Attempting to do so may damage the magnetic
surface of the disk, rendering it unusable. (The indicator light for the disk drive lights up at full brightness when
reading or writing data. Ordinally, the indicator will be less brightly lit, or be extinguished.)

Formatting a floppy disk

A newly purchased floppy disk, or a floppy disk that has been used by another device cannot be used
as is. Such floppy disks must be “formatted” for use with the HPi-7.
