1 – Starting out with your DP-02/DP-02CF

Loading the CF card into the unit (DP-02CF only)

On the DP-02CF, a CF card is used as a recording media for recording and playback. The CF card should be loaded into the unit before the power is turned on.

1.Slide the door to open the COMPACT FLASH CARD slot on the side panel to the right, and gently insert a card, label side up, into the unit’s slot.

CAUTION

If the card is the wrong way up, or backwards, when inserted into the slot, applying excessive pressure may damage the slot or the card. Do not force the card in to avoid damage to the unit or the card, remove and re-orient the card so that it slides in easily.

2.Close the slide door. With the door opened, the DP-02CF cannot be used.

NOTE

To use a new CF card, you need to format the card first (see “Formatting a disk/card” on page 39).

Ejecting the card:

Turn off the power to the unit first, slide the door to open and remove the card by hand (there is no eject lever on the unit).

CAUTION

Do not remove the card when the unit is turned on. Always turn the power off before you take the card out from the unit.
