One of two special messages will appear on the RX17's LCD, indicating that the battery should be replaced by a Yamaha dealer.
No, you should not attempt to replace the battery yourself; refer the job to your Yamaha dealer.
All Pattern and Song data in the RX17 will be lost, so you must save this data to tape or floppy disk first.
