Important data should always be saved to a USB flash memory device connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal This instrument features a built-in USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below. NOTE For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner's manual of the USB device. + Compatible USB devices Only USB memory devices of the flash-memory variety can be used with the MOXF6/MOXF8. Furthermore, the instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB flash memory devices, nor can Yamaha guarantee operation such USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a USB flash memory device for use with this instrument, please visit the following web page: http://download.yamaha.com/ + Connecting a USB flash memory device When connecting a USB flash memory device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the memory is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction. NOTE Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1. + Formatting a USB flash memory device When a USB flash memory device is connected, a message may appear prompting you to format the memory. If so, execute the Format operation (see the "Reference Manual" PDF document). NOTICE The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the device you are formatting does not contain important data. + To protect your data (write-protect) To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided on the USB flash memory device. If you are saving data to the device, make sure to disable write-protect. Quick Guide + Connecting/removing the USB flash memory device Before removing the memory from the instrument, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations). NOTICE Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB flash memory device, or connecting/disconnecting the memory 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 flash memory device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the device from the instrument, and do NOT turn the power off to either the instrument or the USB flash memory device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both. 61 MOXF6/MOXF8 Owner's Manual
