Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Hellmuth,
From my personal experience, the memory is maintained by the flashlight
batteries.  I've waited until the memory was going flaky before changing
them.
I think they're supposed to last about 6 months if you don't run the CZ
off of the batteries. 

Soli Deo Gloria,
Nathan

are you sure about that? I gather the CZ 1000 and/or CZ-101 could work
on batteries, but the memory saving battrey is usually a small one hidden
in the synth!

that's good on you. Anyway, I never put flashligt batteries in my CZ-1000
(though that seems millennia ago), or into my CZ-1. The latter does not
even have the possibility to run on batteries! Obviously your CZ does
not care where it gets its energy from (quite smart, isn't it?). I STILL
think
there is a lithium ion battery involved, if (as we say in Germany) "all
ropes
tear".

Hi,

I don't think there is a lithium battery in the CZ
101/1000. Some circuits are capable of holding a
voltage charge, so this enables the 101/1000 to keep
its memory for a short period of time without the
batteries.

There most definitely some sort of internal battery in
the CZ-1.  Anyone know when these should be replaced
and where they are located inside?

Thanks,

Nick

As I said earlier, upon flipping my  cz3000 over, I did discover a battery 
hatch containing 3 highly corroded AA (not fashlight at all, surprisingly) 
batteries.  I replaced them and they've done the trick as far as retaining 
patches...

Hellmuth, why won't you believe anybody when we tell
you that there is NO lithium battery in the CZ1000?

If you remove the 6 regular batteries, you have about
10 minutes before you lose your patches, unless you
leave the mains power on, of course.  Understand this,
THERE IS NO LITHIUM BATTERY, OK!

Hi Stephen,

sorry if I was looking stubborn - but I would never think
of using 'normal' batteries for that purpose. But if Casio
did it, they did it. I'll be quiet now ;-)

maybe its one of those "backup batterys" that are in mobilephones, aka small capacitors, that only holds the charge for a few weeks / days / hours, until you put in the power again.
