• Windows: Click on the removal icon on the task bar.
Wait until a drop-down menu appears and select the
entry that says something to the effect of “Stop USB
disk E80_SSD” or “Stop USB disk E80_CARD”. You
should now see a window that says something to the
effect of “The USB device XX can now be safely
removed from the system”. Click on the [OK] button.
—THEN—
• Disconnect the USB cable from your computer and
the E-80.
(14) Press the [DISCONNECT] field in the E-80’s display
to return to the CONNECTION MODE page.

Backing up all of the E-80’s data
You can make a backup copy of all of the E-80’s inter-
nal data (or the contents of a memory card) by pro-
ceeding as follows:
• Connect the E-80 to your computer.
• On your computer, create a folder named “Backup”
(or any other name).
• Double-click the icon assigned to the E-80’s internal
memory or memory card to open its window.
• Select its entire contents (Ctrl + A/Windows or Com-
mand + A/Mac).
• Drag the selected files to your “Backup” folder icon
and drop them there.
• Wait until all files have been copied.
To send the files back to the E-80 (or its memory
card):
• Open the “Backup” folder on your computer hard
disk.
• Open the window of the E-80’s internal memory or
memory card.
• Arrange the two windows in such a way that you can
drag files from “Backup” to “E80_SSD” or
“E80_CARD”.
• Return to the “Backup” folder and select its entire
contents (Ctrl + A or Command + A).
• Drag all selected folders to the “E80_SSD” (or
“E80_CARD”) window and release the mouse key.
• Wait until the operation is completed.
• Disconnect the E-80 from your computer (see above).
Just in case…
• Factory data
The E-80’s factory data (User Programs, MIDI Sets,
Styles) can be found on the supplied CD-ROM. Please
see the instructions in the document called
“Recovery_PC.html” or “Recovery_Mac.html” on that
CD-ROM (depending on the computer system you are
using) for how to proceed.
Always make a backup copy of the E-80’s internal
memory before transferring data from the CD-ROM,
because the contents of the E-80’s internal memory
is erased.
• System updates
The supplied CD-ROM also contains two files called
“SystemUpdate_PC.html” and
“SystemUpdate_Mac.html” that explain how to
install a new system version you may have down-
loaded from www.rolandkeyboardclub.com.
