Handling SmartMediaTM*Memory Cards

*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on

the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve cre-

ated on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows

you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to

handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important

precautions below.

Compatible SmartMedia Types

•3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia

is not compatible with this instrument.

• SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities

of (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB)

can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards

greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the

untary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.

Formatting SmartMedia Cards

If you ﬁnd that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMe-

dia cards or cards that have been used with other devices,

you may need to format them. For details on how to format

a SmartMedia card, see page 62. Keep in mind that all data

on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to

check beforehand whether or not the card contains impor-

tant data.

SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not be

useable as is on other devices.

Inserting/Removing SmartMedia Cards

Inserting SmartMedia Cards

plated) side face down into the card slot, until it ﬁts into

place.

• Do not insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direc-

tion.

• Do not insert anything other than a SmartMedia card in

the slot.

Removing SmartMedia Cards

• CVP-305/303:

After making sure that the instrument is not accessing*

the SmartMedia card, insert the card until it clicks into

place and release it. When the SmartMedia card is

ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the card cannot be

removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but

instead try re-inserting the card completely into the slot

and attempt to eject it again.

• CVP-301:

Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to con-

ﬁrm that the card is not in use, or it is not being accessed

by the instrument. Then pull the card out slowly by

hand. If the SmartMedia card is being accessed*, a mes-

sage indicating that it is in use appears on the instru-

ment's display.

* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and

making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will

automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media

type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

About SmartMedia Cards

Handle SmartMedia cards with care,

and follow these precautions:

•There are times when static electricity affects SmartMe-

dia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch some-

thing metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash,

to reduce the possibility of static electricity.

• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the Smart-

Media slot when it is not in use for a long time.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight,

extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humid-

ity, dust or liquids.

• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or

bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.

• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMe-

dia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic ﬁelds,

such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,

etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely

erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.

•Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to

a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in

the proper location.

To Protect Your Data (Write-protect):

•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, afﬁx

the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia pack-

age) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the

SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the Smart-

Media card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal

from the card.

• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.

CAUTION

Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn

the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the

data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the

SmartMedia card itself.
