■ Handling SmartMedia™  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 created 
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 SmartMe-

dia is not compatible with this instrument.

• SmartMedia cards of five different memory capacities of 

(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.

● Formatting SmartMedia cards

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

Media 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 74.  Keep in 
mind that all data on the card will be lost after format-
ting.  Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the 
card contains important data.

● Inserting/removing SmartMedia cards

• Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (gold-

plated) side face up 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.

• 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

• 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 
humidity, 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 
package) onto the designated area (within the circle) of 
the SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the 
SmartMedia card, make sure to remove the write-protect 
seal from the card.

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

• For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that 

you keep two copies of important data on separate 
SmartMedia cards. This gives you a backup if one card 
is lost or damaged.
