Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal Using USB Storage Devices By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. n Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data. This instrument has two USB [TO DEVICE] terminals; one on the left of the panel and one on the terminal at the front. USB [TO DEVICE] terminal A SELECT USB TO DEVICE Select the desired terminal Formatting USB storage media When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 46). CAUTION The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage media. USB [TO DEVICE] terminal B Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used at the same time. Use the [SELECT] switch to select the desired terminal. Switching to "A" selects the terminal on the left of the panel, while switching to "B" selects the terminal panel at the front. CAUTION While the USB storage device is connected to the instrument, do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. CAUTION While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT use the [SELECT] switch. Doing so may corrupt the media or data. n If you connect USB storage devices to both USB [TO DEVICE] terminals, the devices may not operate properly. The number of USB storage device to be used Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device. To protect your data (write-protect) To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect. Connecting/removing USB storage device Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations). CAUTION Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. Appendix CLP-380 Owner's Manual 123
