Shutting down the DM-3200
IMPORTANT CAUTION!!!
Data associated with
projects (automation, library entries, etc.) is not auto-
matically stored on the card. If you turn off the DM-
3200 without having shut down the DM-3200 properly,
YOU MAY LOSE ALL YOUR DATA NOT STORED TO A
PROJECT SINCE THE LAST SAVE!
As when you work with computers, we strongly recom-
mend that you save your project data to card frequently
to avoid any possible data loss.
How to shut down the DM-3200
In order to
shut down the DM-3200:
1
Press and hold the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys (left
side of the surface–
GLOBAL
section).
2
While holding down the key, press the
ALT
key
of the number keypad.

When the all the data associated with the
project has been saved, the screen shows an
appropriate message. Use the switch on the
rear panel to turn off the DM-3200.
•
Alternatively, to reboot the DM-3200 without
turning it off and on again, use the
ALT
+
STOP
+
PLAY
key combination.
Starting up the DM-3200
When you power down the DM-3200 after working
on a project, the project is automatically loaded, if
the CF card containing that project is inserted (a mes-
sage appears on screen at the completion of the
project load).
See “About projects and libraries” on page 26 for
more details about how the DM-3200 uses projects
and libraries to manage and store data.
If the CF card is not inserted, or if a different (or
unformatted) CF card has been inserted, an appropri-
ate message is displayed (asking if you want to for-
mat a blank card, for example).
If you do not shut down the DM-3200 as described
above before powering it down, when you next
power it up with the project CF card installed, the
screen shows a message warning you:

shutdown
