DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
SmartMedia Handling Precautions
•The CARD slot is for use with SmartMedia only. Never attempt to insert any other type of
storage media.
•Use only SmartMedia of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
•Store SmartMedia in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.
•Always store SmartMedia in its original case.
•Write only on the designated area.
•When handling SmartMedia, be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Fingerprints,
smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect performance.
•Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently using a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth.
•If SmartMedia is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a
warmer environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the
surface, which may affect performance. In this case, the SmartMedia should be allowed to
acclimatize for about one hour before use.
•Insert SmartMedia carefully into the CARD slot, with the gold contacts facing upward.
•Do not bend or twist SmartMedia.
•Do not under any circumstances attempt to use SmartMedia that is cracked or warped.
Doing so may seriously damage the CARD slot.
•Do not remove SmartMedia while saving or loading data. Doing so may cause data lose.
•Data stored on SmartMedia can be protected against inadvertent overwriting by attaching
a write-protect sticker (supplied with SmartMedia).
Interference
The DM2000 uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference on radio and
television equipment located nearby. If interference is a problem, relocate the affected
equipment. Using a mobile telephone near the unit may induce noise. In this case use the
telephone away from the unit.
DM2000 Exclusion of Certain Responsibility
Manufacturer, importer, or dealer shall not be liable for any incidental damages including
personal injury or any other damages caused by improper use or operation of the DM2000.
