Using a SmartMedia Card

A SmartMedia card that has been in the card slot for a long time may feel hot when you remove it. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Note that a SmartMedia card has a limited service life. After long use, you may not be able to store data to, read data from, and/or delete data from a card. When this happens, you will need to purchase a new SmartMedia card.

CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. assumes no responsibility for any loss or damage to you or any third party arising out of the loss or corruption of data.

Getting Ready
