Saving Data

Using a SmartMedia Card

Your keyboard is equipped with a card slot that supports the use of SmartMediaTM cards that you can use to store tunes you transfer from your computer, song memory data you have stored in the keyboard’s flash memory, and other data. This provides you with access to virtually unlimited volumes of data that you can instantly load whenever you need it.

IMPORTANT!

There are two types of SmartMedia cards: 3.3V and 5V. Note that this keyboard supports use of 3.3V type SmartMedia cards only.

Never try to use a 5V type SmartMedia card with this keyboard.

Note you will not be able to store data to, delete data from, or rename a SmartMedia card that has a write protect sticker affixed to the card’s write protect area.

SmartMedia Card and Card Slot Precautions

IMPORTANT!

Be sure to carefully read all documentation that comes with the SmartMedia card for important information about how to handle it.

Avoid storing and using SmartMedia cards in the following types of locations. Such conditions can cause corruption of data stored on the card.

Areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or corrosive agents

Areas subject to strong electrostatic charge or electrical noise

Whenever handling a SmartMedia card, make sure that you never touch its contacts with your fingers.

If the data access lamp is lit and the message “Pls Wait” is on the display, it means that data on the SmartMedia card is being accessed by a save, read, or delete operation. Never remove the SmartMedia card from the card slot or turn off the keyboard while the card is being accessed. Doing so can corrupt the data on the SmartMedia card or even damage the card slot.

Never try to insert any type of card other than a 3.3V SmartMedia card into the card slot. Doing so can damage the keyboard.

Inserting a SmartMedia card that is charged with static electricity into the card slot can cause malfunction of the keyboard. If this happens, turn the keyboard off and then back on again.

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.
