Saving Files
You can use the procedures in this section to save Song
Memory, Synthesizer, and other data you create to SD
memory cards for later loading when you need it. See
“Savable File Types” on page E-80 for information about the
type of data you can save.
PREPARATION
• Insert a memory card that has been formatted on the
digital piano into the digital piano’s card slot. Make sure
that the write-protect switch of the memory card is not
in the write-protect position.
NOTE
• Depending on the type and the amount of data involved,
a data save or load operation can take anywhere from a
few minutes to more than 30 minutes to complete. The
message “Pls Wait” will remain on the display to indicate
that a data save or load operation is being performed.
IMPORTANT!
• Never try to perform any operation while “Pls Wait” is
displayed. Performing any operation can cause Flash
memory, or memory card data to be deleted, and
damage the digital piano’s memory and cause it to
malfunction.
