PLEASE
READ
THIS
Concerning
the
backup memory
of the HR-16
and MMT-8.
The
backup
memories in
the HR-16
and the
MMT-B
are non-volatile.
They
are
protected
by a lithium
cell battery
with
an expected life
of
10
years.
This means
you
can turn
power
off on
both machines
and
your
work
will
be
retained
in memory.
However,
please
be aware
that any computer
based device with
memory
backup
can be subject
to losing its
memory
at
any
time for
the following
-
reasons:
1)
[
power
is
interrupted,
even
briefly,
during RECORD, ERASE,
or LENGTH
CHANGE,
you
may
lose
all
memory
or some
minute
portion
of
memory.
This is
possible
because the MMT-8
and HR-l6's internal
computers
are
moving
information
around
in
memory
during these operations.
A
power
surge, or
power
interruption
could cause
an unfortunate memory loss
during
these vulnerable
operations.
2)
Static electricity
can also
cause a
full
or
partial
memory
loss.
Therefore,
it
is recommended
that
you
frequently
backup
any
rlmportant
work
you
are involved
in. lt ls
a simple operatlon.
Please
make it
a habitual
part
of
your
use of the HR-16
and
MMT-8,
so
that
your
enjoyment
and musical
progress
won't
be
interrupted,
