Automatic Power-Off
To avoid wasting power, Pa300 will by default automatically
enter standby mode after two hours of non-active use (playing,
pressing buttons or using the touch-screen). Please save your
data (Performances, Styles, Songs, and so on) before taking a
prolonged pause.
Data Handling
Data in memory may sometimes be lost due to incorrect user
action. Be sure to save important data to the internal memory or
to an external USB device. Korg will not be responsible for dam-
ages caused by data loss.
Cleaning
If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do
not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or thinner, or cleaning
compounds or flammable polishes.
Use a soft cotton cloth to clean the display. Some materials, such
as paper towels, could cause scratches and damage it. Computer
wipes are also suggested, provided they are specifically designed
for LCD screens.
Do not spray any liquid on the LCD screen directly. Always
apply the solution to your cloth first, then clean the screen.
Example screens
Some pages of the manuals show LCD screens along with an
explanation of functions and operations. All sound, style, song
or parameter names, as well as shown values, are merely exam-
ples and may not always match the actual display you are work-
ing on.
