Using a Memory Card
The digital piano has a card slot that accepts SmartMedia TM memory
cards. This provides you with the means to store virtually unlimited
amounts of user song and other data from digital piano memory.
SmartMedia memory cards are available in capacities ranging from
8MB up to 128MB. The cost of a card varies according to its capacity.
Note also that SmartMedia memory cards are available for two
different voltages: 3.3V and 5V. This digital piano supports the use
of 3.3V cards.
Though a SmartMedia memory card is about the size of a postage
stamp, it has anywhere from eight times to 100 times the storage
capacity of a floppy diskette, and it provides very high-speed
access. SmartMedia memory cards are available from household
appliance stores, computer shops, etc.
* SmartMedia TM is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

Memory Card and Card Slot Handling
Precautions
IMPORTANT!
• When using a memory card, make sure you observe all of the
precautions in the instructions that come with it.
• Avoid using a memory card in the following types of areas. Such
conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card.
• Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and
corrosive gas
• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise
• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it or
removing it from the digital piano.
• Never remove the memory card from the card slot or turn off
the digital piano while any data access operation (save, read,
delete) is in progress. Doing so can corrupt the data on the
memory card and damage the card slot.
• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card slot.
Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.
• Inserting a memory card that carries an electrostatic charge into
the card slot can cause malfunction of the digital piano. If this
happens, turn digital piano power off and then back on again.
• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use in
the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• A memory card has a limited service life. If you start to experience
problems with storing, reading, or deleting data from a memory
card you have been using for a long time, it may mean that the
card has reached the end of its service life. When this happens,
you need to purchase a new card.
