Installing the Wave Expansion Board

Up to three optional Wave Expansion Boards (one SR-JV80 series, two SRX series) can be installed in the Fantom.

Wave Expansion Boards store Wave data, patches, and rhythm sets, and by equipping the Fantom with these boards, you can greatly expand your sound palette.

Cautions When Installing an Wave Expansion Board

●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.

●Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.

●To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To

tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

●When installing Wave Expansion Boards, remove only the specified screws.

●Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the Fantom.

●Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the Wave Expansion Boards is complete, be sure to replace the cover.

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

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

●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.

●Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the circuit board (SR-JV80/SRX series; Quick Start p. 3–4).

●Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SR-JV80/SRX series). Remove only the specified screws (p. 196).

Screws to be removed

•When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get

damaged.
