<Notes>

zWhen a P2 card is being accessed or it is being recognised after insertion (P2 CARD ACCESS LED blinks in orange), do not remove the P2 card.

If your AJ-SPC700P is not set to turn on the P2 CARD ACCESS LED, before removing the card ensure that pre- recording and/or voice memo recording have finished (the P-REC indication has stopped blinking and the V mark or VOICE REC indication on the viewfinder screen has turned off) after stopping recording or playback.

zIf a P2 card being accessed is removed, the viewfinder displays “TURN POWER OFF” and the AJ-SPC700P gives a warning using an alarm and the WARNING LED. In addition, all P2 CARD ACCESS LEDs blink rapidly in green. If this is the case, turn the power off. For more information on warning indications, see [7-3 Warning System].

zIf a P2 card is removed while being accessed, clips on it may become irregular although the data will not be corrupted. Check the clips and restore them if required. For more information about how to restore clips, see [6-9 Restoring Clips].

zIf a P2 card being formatted is removed, it may be not be formatted properly. In this case, the viewfinder displays “TURN POWER OFF”. If this message appears, turn off the power, then restart the AJ-SPC700P to reformat the card.

zIf a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being played back, the inserted P2 card is not recognised and the P2 CARD ACCESS LED for that card does not come on. Card recognition starts when the playback ends.

To Prevent Accidental Erasure of P2 Card Content

To prevent the content of a P2 card being accidentally erased, position the write-protect switch on the P2 card at [Protect].

<Note>

Write-protect switchover can be performed while the card is

being accessed (during recording or playback), but does not

take effect until access to the card ceases.
