NOTICE
The rating of the USB TO DEVICE terminal is a maximum of 5 V/500 mA for each terminal. Do not connect USB devices
having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.
Connecting a 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.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/recording and le management operations (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 and then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the
two operations.
• Use an AB type USB cable of less than 3 meters.

NOTICE
• Use an AB-type USB cable.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/o or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from
the [USB TO HOST] terminal.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted when the notes on the keyboard
are played or a Song is played back.)
• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations:
(1) when turning the power of the instrument o and then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the
USB cable.
