D1000X contains this User's Manual and the D1000X Utility Software. Please save these files
to your PC and format the CF card before using it in the D1000X.
If you wish to delete sound files on the CF card, use the ESC key on the detector to delete
single files or simply format the card to delete all files on the card.
Deleting individual files
from the card, while the CF card is in a card reader should be avoided since this will not free
any space for making new recordings with the D1000X.
To access the CF card slot, open the hinged door on the rear of the D1000X. The door is
opened by gently pressing the hinge upwards (1) while pulling the door open (2) (see below).
CF card precautions.
Always follow the instructions supplied with the CF card and any CF card reader
you are using. To read files from the CF card in your PC using a USB card
reader, insert the card in the reader and then plug the USB connector into a USB
port of the computer. To remove the CF card from the computer, use the Safely Remove
Hardware application, if the Safely Remove Hardware icon appears in the notification area
on the computer screen (click on the icon and follow the instructions).
Make sure the D1000X is turned off using the ON/OFF key or the Main Power switch before
you insert a CF card into the CF card slot or remove a CF card from the slot.
Never switch the power off while the D1000X is accessing the CF card, i.e. while recording,
playing or formatting the CF card. Doing so can cause loss of recorded files and/or
corruption of the CF card.
When inserting a CF card into the D1000X, make sure that the card is oriented correctly.
Make sure that the correct side of the card is facing up and that you insert the correct side of
the card into the detector.
Static electricity, electromagnetic radiation and other electrical phenomena can cause
corruption or loss of data stored on the CF card. For this reason, you should always make
backup copies of important sound files on other media such as computer hard disk or CD.
CF card problems can usually be corrected by formatting the card. Formatting a CF card
deletes all information stored on the card, including sound files and profiles. Before
formatting a card you should copy all files you wish to keep on other media. If you plan to use
the D1000X where you don’t have access to other storage devices, it is a good idea to take
along a few extra CF cards just in case you experience an unexpected CF card problem.
