Use the procedure under “Reset” (page 12-3) to format an SD card.

3.SD Card Precautions during Use

SD card problems can normally be corrected by reformatting the card. However, it is always a good idea to take along more than one SD card to avoid data storage problems.

Card formatting (initialization) is recommended before using a new SD card for the first time.

If an SD card has been formatted on a computer or other device, you can use it as-is without reformatting. A computer or other device also will be able to use an SD card that has been formatted with the calculator.

Never perform any of the following operations while the SD card is being accessed.

-Removing the SD card

-Connecting or disconnecting a USB cable

-Turning off the calculator

-When connected to a computer, exiting the FA-124 software or shutting down the computer

Note that an SD 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 an SD card into the slot when it is oriented incorrectly can damage the card and slot.

Use of certain SD cards while calculator battery power is low can cause the display to go blank without displaying the low battery warning message. If this happens, replace the batteries.
