Boss Dr.Sample SP-202 - Critical Operating Cautions; Data Storage Risks and Power Interruptions; Battery Level and Initialization Procedures

It initialization is not performed automatica l ly, and you experience problems such
as "noise mixed with the sample sound " or " irregularities occurring in the samples
of other pads when recording or erasure is performed , " refer to the procedure on
page 25 of the owner's manual , and completely erase either the i nterna l memory (if
the problem occurred in bank A or B ) or the memory card (if the problem occurred
in bank C or D).
If the above cautions are not observed , thereby causing the data of the i nternal
flash memory to be damaged, the display may indicate "Err" for several seconds
the next time the unit is turned on, and internal data will be automatically init i alized.
(All internal data is lost . )
When initialization i s completed , the SP-202 will then enter the same state as fol-
lowing a normal power-on.
* If the BPM display becomes darker than normal, the battery
capacity has nearly run down. Please replace the battery as
soon as possible.
Never turn off the power and remove a memory card in the follow-
ing situations.
• While a sample is being deleted (the DEL button is lit)
• While Truncate is being performed (the DEL button is lit)
• While saving data to a memory card (the REC button is lit)
• While loading data from a memory card (the REC button is lit)
• While the decimal points in the BPM display are blinking
The SP-202 stores sample data and various data necessary for operation in its
internal flash memory or a memory card.
If the power is turned off , a memory card is removed, or the battery runs down while
data in f l ash memory or a memory card is being written or erased, the data will not
be written correctly . In such cases , not only will your important data be lost , but
subsequent operation of the un i t may also be affected.
When using the SP-202, please be sure to observe the following
cautions.
