Card and Card Slot Precautions

•Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the documentation that comes with the memory card.

•Memory cards have a write-protect switch. Use it when you want to protect the data on the card from accidental deletion.

•Avoid using a memory card under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card.

–Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or 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 Keyboard.

•The message “Please Wait” will remain on the display while a data save operation is in progress. Do not perform any other operation while it is displayed.

Turning off the Digital Keyboard or removing the memory card can cause Digital Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted. It also can cause the Digital Keyboard to fail to turn on when the L-1 (POWER) button is pressed. If this happens, refer to “Troubleshooting” (page E-114).

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

•Electrostatic charge from your fingers or the memory card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens, turn the Digital Keyboard 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.
