■ Using SmartMedia™ cards (memory cards)
Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.
● Compatible SmartMedia card Type
This instrument uses SmartMedia™ (3.3V) memory
cards. 5V type SmartMedia cards are not compatible with
this instrument.
* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
● Memory Capacity
There are five types of SmartMedia cards: 8MB/16MB/
32MB/64MB/128MB. If you wish to use capacities of
32MB or more, keep in mind that only SmartMedia cards
conforming to SSFDC standards (bearing the SmartMe-
dia™ logo) can be used.
● Inserting/Removing SmartMedia cards
Inserting a SmartMedia card
With the gold-plated contact side facing down, insert the
SmartMedia card firmly but carefully into the card slot, as
far as it will go. Be careful not to insert the card upside
down or back side in. Also, do not insert anything else
into the slot, other than a proper SmartMedia card.
Removing a SmartMedia card
Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to confirm
that the SmartMedia card is not in use, or it is not being
accessed by the instrument. Then pull the SmartMedia
card out slowly by hand. If the SmartMedia card is being
accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on
the instrument’s display.
* This includes all save, load, format, delete and create direc-
tory operations for the SmartMedia card. Also, be aware
that the instrument will automatically access the SmartMe-
dia card to check the media type when it is inserted while
the instrument is turned on.
● Formatting SmartMedia cards
Before using a SmartMedia card with your instrument it
must first be formatted. (However, do NOT format the
included SmartMedia card; this has already been format-
ted for use. Formatting it will delete all data on it.) Once it
is formatted all data on it will be erased. Make sure that no
important data is contained on the card beforehand.
● About the SmartMedia cards
Handle SmartMedia cards with care!
• SmartMedia cards are very sensitive and can be dam-
aged by static electricity. Before handling a SmartMe-
dia card, make sure to discharge any static electricity in
your body by touching something made of metal, such
as a door knob or aluminum blinds.
• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the card
slot when it is not in use for a long time.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive
humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or
bend or apply pressure to the SmartMedia card in any
way.
• Never touch the gold-plated contact with your fingers or
let it come in contact with any other metallic or hard sur-
face.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the SmartMedia card, rendering it unread-
able.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a SmartMedia card. Also make sure that labels are
attached only in the proper location.
Protecting your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect seal (provided with the
SmartMedia card) to the circle spot indicated on the card.
If you are saving data to the card, make sure to remove
write-protect seal. Do not reuse a seal that has been
removed; it may not stick properly to the card and could
come off in the slot.
● Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate SmartMe-
dia cards. This gives you a backup if one SmartMedia card
is lost or damaged.
• Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage
the data on the instrument/SmartMedia card and possi-
bly the SmartMedia card itself.
• The SmartMedia cards formatted with this instrument may
become unusable with other instruments or devices.
NOTE
• Keep in mind that accidental power interruptions while
the SmartMedia card is being accessed can result in
damage and irrecoverable loss of data. For this reason,
you should regularly save your important data.
