One Wave Expansion Board (SR-JV80 series; sold separately) can be installed in the JV-1010.

Waveform data, patches and rhythm sets are stored on the Wave Expansion Board, so you can increase the number of available sounds by installing the board in the JV-1010.

The Wave Expansion Board can be installed by removing the top cover.

■How to Install a Wave Expansion Board

First, here are some important points to remember when installing into the JV-1010:

●To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.

•Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

•When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

•Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

●Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

●Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

●When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.

●Install only the specified board, and remove only the specified screws.

●Be careful not to cut your hands on the opening for installing the board.

Installing a Wave Expansion Board increases the patches and drum sets for Parts, but the number of Parts doesn’t change.
