Connecting a USB Storage Device

•Avoid frequently turning the power to USB storage devices on or

off, or connecting/disconnecting the cable. Doing so may result in

the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is

accessing data (such as during the Save, Load and Delete opera-

tions), do not unplug the USB cable, do not remove the media from

the device, and do not turn the power off to either or both devices.

CAUTION

• Some USB memory devices may require more current than the

instrument can supply, causing the instrument’s over-current pro-

tection function to be activated and making it impossible to use

the device. If this occurs “OverCurrent” will appear in the upper-

right area of the MAIN display. To restore normal operation remove

the USB device from the USB TO DEVICE connector and turn the

instrument’s power off and then back on again.
