Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this
instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading
from the USB device may differ depending on the type
of data or the status of the instrument.
NOTE
The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of 5V/500mA. Do not
connect USB devices having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the
instrument itself.
Connecting a USB flash drive
When connecting a USB flash drive to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the
device is appropriate and that it is connected in the
proper direction.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB flash drive
during playback/recording and file management opera-
tions (such as Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when
accessing the USB flash drive. Failure to observe this
may result in “freezing” of the operation of the instru-
ment or corruption of the USB flash drive and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB flash
drive (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds
between the two operations.
NOTE
Do not use an extension cable when you connect a USB flash drive.
Using a USB flash drive
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you
can save data you’ve created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected USB flash
drive.
Number of USB flash drives that can be used
Only one USB flash drive can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
Formatting a USB flash drive
You should format the USB flash drive only with this
instrument (page 37). A USB flash drive formatted on
another device may not operate properly.
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing
data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are format-
ting does not contain important data.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB flash
drive, make sure to disable write-protect.
Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to
do so may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data.
