Setting up for Remote Control
Setting up on the MOTIF ES
The settings in the Utility mode are actually stored on internal User
memory (Flash ROM) by pressing the [STORE] button. Please keep in mind
that the settings will be lost if you turn off the power without executing the
Store operation.
The settings in the Utility mode are stored as system settings to internal
Flash ROM. Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written
to Flash ROM (while a “Please keep power on” message is shown). Turning
the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may cause the
system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This may
also result in the MOTIF ES being unable to properly start up the next time
the power is turned on.
