Important!

Always use an SD memory card. Operation is not guaranteed when another type of memory card is used.

Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with an SD card before using it.

Certain types of SD cards can slow down processing speeds.

Certain types of SD cards and operating conditions can shorten battery life.

SD cards have a write protect switch, which protects against accidental erasure of data. Note, however, that you need to remove write protection before you can copy data to or delete data from, or format a disk that is write-protected.

Static electric charge, electric noise, and other phenomena can delete or corrupt card data unexpectedly. Because of this you should always backup valuable data to other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disk, hard disk, etc.)

1. Using an SD Card

Important!

Always turn off the calculator before inserting or removing an SD card.

Note that a card needs to be oriented correctly (proper side must be facing upwards, the proper end must be inserted) when inserting it into the calculator. Trying to force card into the slot while it is oriented incorrectly can damage the card and slot.

SRemoving the Dummy Card

Your calculator is shipped from the factory with a dummy card inserted in the SD card slot. Before using an SD card, first use the procedure under “To remove the SD card” on page 14-2 to remove the dummy card.
