I inserted new batteries and it worked keeping patches. Thanks.

Using an AC adapter will not retain theprograms in memory after the Poly-800 is turned off. If there is no lithiumcell installed, only the six ā€œCā€ cells can keep the memory active.If there is no lithium cell, the steps to add one depend on which of the threeversions of KLM-596 board you have. Here is something from one of my old posts,with examples of different versions:

 

S/N011912 KLM-596-2 - had no solder pads and no battery.

S/N041368 KLM-596-7 - had solder pads but no battery. R1 and D1 arestill on the board.

S/N 073712KLM-596-8 - had solder pads and a battery.No R1 or D1 exist on the board.

 

You can search some of the old posts fordiscussions about how to add a lithium cell battery (one of mine was from Aug31, 2011) and you can read the file from hexafuzz in the Yahoo group Files/Poly-800/Servicingsection.

If you have any questions about theinstructions you find, just ask.

Here's amad idea,put new batteries in the battery holder and use a psu when not usingthe batteries which

will be most of the time,hence will retain programs. Simples

Hello!
The mk1 poly800 (and the reversed keys one) doesn't have a battery inside anddoesn't keep the memory on power down (except you have batteries inside but iam not 100% sure about that) ,,
You need to mod it and add a battery so it will be able to retain its patcheson power down..!

Hello guys I am a new comer intothe group, I would appreciate a loti f someone could help me, I recently boughta poly 800, and the issue is that it can not keep patches longer than 2 hrs.then they are erased, I thought  that it needed a battery replacement butit  has none and never had. So I do not know what might be done in thiscase, could you please give me some advise?.
