Genos keeps its time once set. Since my Genos stays home, I set it to get time from the network.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for replying, but if you have the keyboard connected to a network, then the time will be available from there, so even if it is 'lost' when the power is turned off, it will be automatically set again whenever you turn the power on.
I want to know what is the situation if the keyboard is
not connected to a network and the clock has been set manually!
Any real time clock needs power to continue to run. When the keyboard is on, obviously there is power.
If the keyboard is in 'standby' power may still be available to run the clock from the AC mains.
If all power is removed by turning it off at the wall or removing the AC lead, what happens then? That is what I want to know!
If the clock continues to run without any external power source, there must be an internal battery. However it may be that the time is lost when external power is removed and needs resetting manually each time that the keyboard is turned on.
The 'Battery Notice' in the 'SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION' of the Owner's Manual simply says 'This product MAY contain a small nonrechargeable battery which (if applicable) is soldered in place...'.
The same message appears in the manuals for all models (presumably Yamaha are too lazy to change it for specific models!), but there is definitely no battery in any of their arrangers released in at least the last 10 years, so you can't rely on it to confirm whether or not there actually is a battery!
Regards
Ian
