Using a Memory Card

The digital piano has a card slot that accepts SmartMediaTM memory cards. This provides you with the means to store virtually unlimited amounts of user song and other data from digital piano memory. SmartMedia memory cards are available in capacities ranging from 8MB up to 128MB. The cost of a card varies according to its capacity. Note also that SmartMedia memory cards are available for two different voltages: 3.3V and 5V. This digital piano supports the use of 3.3V cards.

Though a SmartMedia memory card is about the size of a postage stamp, it has anywhere from eight times to 100 times the storage capacity of a floppy diskette, and it provides very high-speed access. SmartMedia memory cards are available from household appliance stores, computer shops, etc.

Memory Card and Card Slot Handling Precautions

IMPORTANT!

When using a memory card, make sure you observe all of the precautions in the instructions that come with it.

Avoid using a memory card in the following types of areas. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card.

Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and corrosive gas

Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise

Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it or removing it from the digital piano.

Never remove the memory card from the card slot or turn off the digital piano while any data access operation (save, read, delete) is in progress. Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card and damage the card slot.

Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

Inserting a memory card that carries an electrostatic charge into the card slot can cause malfunction of the digital piano. If this happens, turn digital piano power off and then back on again.

A memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

A memory card has a limited service life. If you start to experience problems with storing, reading, or deleting data from a memory card you have been using for a long time, it may mean that the card has reached the end of its service life. When this happens, you need to purchase a new card.

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any loss of data stored on a memory card.
