Installing the Wave Expansion Board

Up to two optional Wave Expansion Boards (SRX Series) can be installed in the RD-700.

Wave Expansion Boards store Wave data, Patches, and Rhythm Sets, and by equipping the RD-700 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 a screw, rotate	loosen	tighten
the screwdriver clockwise.

●Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the RD-700.

●Do not leave the rear panel 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 edge of the installation bay.

●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.

●Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SRX Series). Remove only the specified screws.

Install the Wave Expansion Boards after removing the rear panel cover. There are two slots (A and B) into which a board can be installed. Specify which slot's board is to be used by pressing EXPANSION [A] or [B] on the front panel when using waves, tones, or Rhythm Sets from the wave expansion boards.
