User Manual

If an error message appears and updating fails for some reason, perform the steps below to re-attempt updating.

Unplug the AC adaptor from the Digital Keyboard.

Correctly re-copy the “update.bin” update file to the USB flash drive.

Make sure that the USB flash drive is inserted correctly into the Digital Keyboard’s USB port.

Connect the AC adaptor to the Digital Keyboard.

Press the Digital Keyboard’s power button to turn it on.

• If the update operation starts automatically, wait for about 30 minutes until updating is complete and the Digital

Keyboard restarts.

• If the Digital Keyboard restarts normally, go to the MENU screen, and touch “SYSTEM SETTING” and then

“Information”. Check the Digital Keyboard’s current firmware version. If it is not Version 1.10, perform steps 5, 6, and 7

of the update operation again.

• If updating is stopped by display of an error message, it could mean that there is something wrong with your

“update.bin” file and/or USB flash drive. Check for problems.
