4-9 Data handling

Setup card

Use of the setup memory card (optional accessory) enables the setting menu contents to be saved. Use of this data speeds up the process of reproducing suitable setup statuses.

≥Multimedia cards or SD memory cards can be used as the setup cards.

4-9-1 Handling the setup card

The setup card can be inserted or removed before or after the power is switched on.

Inserting the setup card

Open the switch cover, position the setup card (optional accessory) with its cutout facing up, insert it into the setup card insertion slot, and close the switch cover.

<Note>

Before inserting the setup card, check that it is pointed in the correct direction. If the card meets with resistance and if it is difficult to insert, it may mean that it is the wrong way round or upside down. Do not force the card into the slot but check its direction again and insert it properly.

Removing the setup card

Open the switch cover, check that the BUSY lamp is not lighted, and push the setup card further into the unit. This causes the card to partially pop out from the insertion slot. Take hold of the card, remove it, and close the switch cover.

Bear in mind the following points when using and saving the setup cards.

≥Avoid high temperatures and high humidity levels.

≥Keep the cards away from water.

≥Avoid exposing the cards to electrical charges.

Keep the setup card inside the unit with the cover closed.
