How do I change the battery?
Changing the Battery in your KSP8
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
Your KSP8 uses battery-backed memory to keep track of settings and programs. The battery is a
3 volt button type (CR 2032), and should last a long time – up to seven years, in fact. A message
on the KSP8 display at startup will indicate a low battery. Follow the instructions below to
change the KSP8 battery:
1. Back up all KSP8 data. Do this via MIDI with a SysEx dump or by saving to a SmartMedia card.
See Chapter 10 for information on these backup procedures.
2. Remove power from the KSP8
3. Turn the unit over and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the six screws from the access
panel.
4. Locate the battery, and note the orientation of the + and – sides of the battery.
5. Remove the old battery.
6. Insert the new battery; do not use pliers, since this can short out the battery. Make sure that the
+ and – sides of the battery are oriented correctly. After installation, the + side will be visible
under the clip.
