Replacing the VS-2480’s Battery
The VS-2480 contains a lithium battery that powers its time-keeping features, and also
provides the power for the area of the VS-2480’s memory that stores certain parameter
values. When the battery weakens, the VS-2480’s time-keeping features may not
operate correctly, and it may not properly remember various settings upon power-up. If
the battery needs to be replaced, the VS-2480 shows the following message when you
power up:
Installation Procedure
1. Power down the VS-2480 (Page 80), saving any recent changes you’ve made to the
currently loaded project.
2. Turn off all connected devices, and disconnect all cables from VS-2480.
For instructions on attaching the MB-24 meter bridge to the VS-2480 using VS-24MBA
brackets, see the instruction sheet included with the brackets.
Connect the MB-24’s AC IN jack to a grounded AC outlet.
When using the MB-24, set the VS-2480’s MIDI OUT/THRU parameter to Out
(Page 300). To learn how to configure the meter bridge, see the “EXTERNAL LEVEL
METER” parameter section on Page 360.
Before turning the VS-2480 upside-down to install a new battery, obtain some
newspapers or magazines and place them under the four corners of the VS-2480, or at
both ends, to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Position the VS-2480
carefully to avoid scratching or damaging it.
When installing a new battery, follow the precautions listed on Page 379.
