Handling SmartMedia™* memory cards
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot. It lets
you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a
SmartMedia card, and allows you to load data from a card to the
instrument. Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow
the important precautions below.
■
Compatible SmartMedia types
• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia is
not compatible with this instrument.
• SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities of
(2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB) can
be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards greater than
32MB can be used if they conform to the SSFDC Forum
standard.
NOTE
SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a
voluntary organization established for the promotion of
SmartMedia.
■
Formatting SmartMedia cards
• If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia
cards or cards that have been used with other devices, you may
need to format them. For details on how to format a
SmartMedia card, see page 12. Keep in mind that all data on
the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check
beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.
NOTE
SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not
be useable as is on other devices.
■
Inserting/removing SmartMedia cards
●
Inserting SmartMedia cards
• Insert the SmartMedia card
with the terminal (gold-
plated) side face down into
the card slot, until it clicks
into place.
• Do not insert the
SmartMedia card in the
wrong direction.
• Do not insert anything other
than a SmartMedia card in
the slot.
●
Removing SmartMedia cards
• After making sure that the instrument is not accessing* the
SmartMedia card, insert the card until it clicks into place and
release it. When the SmartMedia card is ejected, pull it out of
the drive. If the card cannot be removed because it is stuck, do
not try to force it, but instead try re-inserting the card
completely into the slot and attempt to eject it again.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media type
when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or
turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument or card and
possibly damage the SmartMedia card itself.

About SmartMedia cards
●
Handle SmartMedia cards with care, and follow
these precautions:
• There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia.
Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something
metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity.
• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia
slot when it is not in use for a long time.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia 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 card in any way.
• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia
card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
• 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, rendering it unreadable.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a
SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in the
proper location.
●
To protect your data (write-protect):
• To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix the
write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto
the designated area (within the circle) of the SmartMedia card.
Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to
remove the write-protect seal from the card.
• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
●
Data Backup
• For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate SmartMedia
cards. This gives you a backup if one card is lost or damaged.
