Introduction 1•5
BEFORE STARTING - CONSERVING DATA IN RAM
The rechargeable battery
The PS/GPS series instruments conserve the data in RAM memory after turning off, thanks to a re-
chargeable battery. The battery is recharged while the instrument is turned on (not just plugged in!).
When the instrument is turned off, if the battery is at maximum charge level, the data in RAM memory is
conserved for about two weeks. The charge of the battery increases by one day for every hour the
instrument is left on, until the maximum level is reached. If the battery discharges, leave the instrument
on for at least 15 hours to recharge it completely.
To increase the efficiency of the rechargeable battery, repeat the complete recharging operation at least
once a month. In most cases, normal use of the PS/GPS will keep the battery charged.
WARNING: Sounds based on sample RAM (RAM -Sounds) are conserved after power thanks to the installed
battery-backed Sample-RAM. If the volatile Sample-RAM is installed, the Sounds and samples will be lost at
power down (much like typical computer memory). If desired, these Sounds can be reloaded from disk after
powering up the instrument again
