Precautions when Using the
[USB] Terminal
When connecting this instrument to a com-
puter via the [USB] terminal, be sure to
observe the following precautions. Failing to
do so risks freezing your computer or instru-
ment and corrupting or losing data.
If your computer or instrument should
freeze, try restarting the application being
used, rebooting the computer, and turning
the instrument off and then back on.
NOTICE
• Use a USB A-B cable of no more than 3
meters in length. Do not use a USB 3.0
cable.
• Before connecting to your computer via
the [USB] terminal, disable any power-
saving mode (such as Suspend, Sleep,
or Standby).

• Be sure to always perform the following
steps before turning the instrument on
or off (standby) and either plugging in
or unplugging a USB cable.
- Quit all applications.
- Ensure that no data is being trans-
mitted from the instrument. (Note
that even playing a single key
causes data to be transmitted.)

ing the instrument on and off and plug-
ging in and unplugging the USB cable.
