Recorded Data Storage
· Starting a new recording deletes any data that was previously recorded in memory. · Should power fail during recording, all of the data in the track you are recording will be deleted. · A built-in lithium battery supplies the power required to retain digital piano memory contents when power is turned off. [. . . ] They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.
Memory Protection
A built-in lithium battery supplies the power required to retain digital piano settings and memory contents when power is turned off. Should the lithium battery go dead, settings and memory contents (Song Memory data, registration memory data, user songs, display contrast setting, etc. ) will be lost whenever you turn off digital piano power. Note that the original built-in lithium battery has a life of about five years from the date the digital piano was manufactured. Be sure to periodically contact your retailer or authorized service provider to have the lithium battery replaced. [. . . ]
