Installing I/O cards (sold separately)
CAUTION
Before installing or removing an I/O card (sold separately),
disconnect the power cord from the outlet or the unit.
1. Remove the two screws from the plain panel and remove
the panel itself. (If a different card is already installed,
remove it.)
2. Insert the I/O card into the card slot. Align the edges of the
I/O card with the white guides inside the slot and insert it
securely. Push the I/O card in until its backplate reaches the
back panel of the unit, leaving no gap, and clicks into place.
Do not force the card into the slot. If you cannot insert the
card properly, remove it once and try reinserting it.
3. Use the two removed screws to secure the I/O card in place.
4. Turn the unit on, and check the
VERSION INFOR-
MATION
screen to confirm that it has recognized the
inserted I/O card. (See “Checking the firmware version” on
page 51.)
If “SLOT1 : ---- (None)” or something similar appears, the card
might not be inserted correctly or the screws might not be
tightened securely. Insert the I/O card securely into the unit
again.

•
Do not turn the unit off (put it into standby) during
recording, playback or at other times when data on the

blinks orange at such times. Doing so could cause proper
recording to fail, recorded data to be lost, and sudden loud
noises from monitoring equipment, which might damage
the equipment or harm hearing.
