Concerning the backup memory of the HR-16 and MMT-8.
The backup memories in the HR-16 and the MMT-8 are non-voiatiie. They
are protected by a lithium ceii battery with an expected iife of 10 years.
This means you can turn power off on both machines and your work
wiii be retained in memory.
However, piease be aware that any computer based device with memory
backup can be subject to losing its memory at any time for the following
reasons:
1) If power is interrupted, even briefly, during RECORD, ERASE, or LENGTH
CHANGE, you may lose all memory or some minute portion of memory.
This is possible because the MMT-8 and HR-16's internal computers are
moving information around in memory during these operations. A power
surge, or power interruption could cause an unfortunate memory loss
during these vulnerable operations.
2) Static electricity can also cause a full or partial memory loss.
Therefore,
it
is
recommended
that
you
frequentiy
backup
any
important work you are invoived in. It is a simpie operation.
Piease make it a habituai part of your use of the HR-16 and MMT-8,
so that your enjoyment and musicai progress won't
be interrupted. See the sections on TAPE in this Instruction
Manuai.
