 Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo

Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
When you use the instrument along with an application on
your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you set
“Airplane Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to avoid
noise caused by communication.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations,
or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of
panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or
unstable operation.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the

to the instrument without storing. This also occurs when the
power is turned off by the Auto Power Off function (page 19).
• MIDI and System Settings
MIDI setting data and System setting data are automatically
stored when those corresponding setting displays are
switched to another display. Data is lost when you turn off the
power to the instrument without switching displays. This also
occurs when the power is turned off by the Auto Power Off
function.
• Always save important data to the instrument, or to USB flash
drive (page 60). Keep in mind, however, that data saved to
