Handling SmartMedia

TM

*Memory Cards

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.

• 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 
SSFDC Forum standard.

SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card 
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a vol-
untary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.

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.

• CVP-305/303:

Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (gold-
plated) side face down into the card slot, until it clicks 
into place.

• CVP-301:

Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (gold-
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.

• 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.

• 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 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.
