USB Flash Memory Operations
By connecting the USB flash memory device to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal, you can
save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings.
The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for the future use.
• It is recommended to use the Power Adaptor when executing USB flash memory operations, since battery power may
not be reliable enough to last through these crucial operations. When you try executing certain functions, the “Use
Adaptor” indication may appear and the selected function cannot be executed.
IMPORTANT
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.
 Compatible USB devices
• USB flash memory
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or
mouse cannot be used. Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0
can be used on this instrument, the amount of time for
saving to or loading from the USB device may differ
depending on the type of data or the status of the instru-
ment. The instrument does not necessarily support all
commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot
guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase.

ment, please visit the following web page:

 Connecting USB device
• When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on
the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the
proper direction.
Using USB Flash Memory
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash memory,
you can save data you’ve created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.
 The number of USB flash memory to be used
Only one USB flash memory device can be connected to
the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.
 Formatting USB flash memory
You should format the USB storage device only with this
instrument (page 58). A USB flash memory formatted on
another device may not operate properly.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash
memory, make sure to disable write-protect.
 Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash memory by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do
so may corrupt the USB flash memory and the data.
• For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer
to the owner’s manual of the USB device.
• The rating of the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of
5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating above
this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device while
executing playback/recording and file management opera-
tions (such as Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when
accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may
result in “freezing” of the operation of the instrument or
corruption of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and
vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the
two operations.
• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length is
less than 3 meters.

ting does not contain important data.
