Message: [QUOTE="TedS, post: 241289, member: 18359"] For many years now, I've plugged my arranger workstations into a uninterruptible power supply (UPS) of the type more commonly used for computers. Unlike a surge protector, these have battery back up that will keep the keyboard alive, at least for several minutes. If power were to be suddenly lost during certain operations, such as OS updates, or even writing settings to internal memory, it's possible that the board could be corrupted. You could lose your data. To recover, you might have to reload the operating system and musical resources. A UPS is cheap insurance to make sure the power stays on, and it also does a good job of smoothing out surges and sags in the line voltage. My $.02. [/QUOTE]
