SPD-SX Restoring Factory Data Procedure

What you will need to restore your SPD-SX

• SPD-SX
• USB Memory (Roland's M-UF2G is recommended)
• A computer with a USB connector (Windows, Mac)

Cautions With The Update

• When you execute the following factory restore operation, all wave and kit
data in the SPD-SX will be overwritten. If the SPD-SX contains important
data that you want to keep, save it to a USB flash drive before you
proceed.
