- Saving a Live Set File ( LIVE SET Save )
Call up the Live Set from the USB memory after the update completes.
We recommend that you back up your Live Set files and Songs stored in the internal memory to a USB memory before you perform the update although RD-700NX keeps the data with normal updating.
Refer to the following section from the Owner's Manual for the detailed procedure.
- Copying a Live Set File ( LIVE SET Copy )

Never apply this update data to any product other than the RD-700NX. This update data may destroy the data or system program of other products.
Never power-off your RD-700NX while the update is in progress!
If a power failure or similar accident occurs during the update process, the RD-700NX won’t be able to start up in normal operating mode. This will require servicing, so you will need to contact Roland service center near you if this occurs.
