About the microSD card

If you plan to use any card other than the 
included microSD card, use a 512MB – 2GB 
microSD card or a 4GB microSDHC card 
(these cards are compatible as of July 2008). 
However, some cards (depending on the 
manufacturer or type of card) may not work 
with the recorder.

For more information on microSD cards, 
please visit the following Yamaha website:

About files and folders

One recorded session on the POCKETRAK CX 
is called a “file.” 
Files are stored in a location called a “folder.” 
Files are stored in one of the following folders 
on a microSD card that has been inserted 
into the recorder.

VOICE folders (A-D):

The VOICE folder contains sub-folders 
A-D that store files recorded through the 
microphone.

LINE(L) folder:

This folder stores files recorded from 
external line-level devices.

MUSIC(M) folder:

This folder stores music files transferred 
from your computer.

RECYCLE (

) folder: 

This is a trash can folder.

ALARM folder:

This folder stores files that can be played 
as an alarm. (The folder name will not be 
displayed.)

DATA folder:

This folder stores data files. (The folder 
name will not be displayed.)

For more information on the files and folders, 
please read the Reference Manual.

Before using the microSD card

• Make sure that you insert the microSD card in the 

recorder correctly. Otherwise, the recorder will not 
record or play.

• Do not apply too much force when you insert or 

remove the microSD card. Otherwise, you might 
injure your hand or finger or damage the card.

• If you insert the microSD card in the wrong orien-

tation or upside down, the microSD card and/or 
the card slot may be damaged.

• If the recorder does not recognize the installed 

microSD card when the power to the unit is turned 
on, first turn off the power, remove the card, insert 
the card correctly, then turn the power on.

• Do not install or remove the microSD card while 

the power to the unit is on. Otherwise, the data on 
the microSD card may be damaged.

• Do not touch the terminal on the microSD card or 

expose the card to water or dirt.

• Do not try to bend, fold or place a heavy object on 

the microSD card.

• Do not use or keep the microSD card in a location 

subject to static electricity or electric noise.

• Do not place the microSD card in the vicinity of 

corrosive chemicals or corrosive gas. Otherwise, 
the card may malfunction or data on the card may 
be lost.

• Never place the microSD card within reach of small 

children. A child may swallow the card accidentally.

• If you discard the microSD card without precau-

tions, important or personal data that remains on 
the card may become accessible to unauthorized 
individuals. To avoid this risk, erase all data on the 
card, destroy the card physically, then discard it.
