Connecting USB device
When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE]
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
Notice
When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] termi-
nal on the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If
the key cover is closed with the USB device connected, the USB
device may be damaged.
Using USB Storage Devices
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device,
you can save data you’ve created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.
The number of USB storage device to be
used
Only one USB storage devices can be connected to the
USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.
Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 37).
Notice
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain
important data.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each stor-
age device or media. If you are saving data to the USB
storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.
Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save, Copy and Delete operations).
Notice
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing
so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or
hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as dur-
ing Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is
mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection),
do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device.
Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
NOTE
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the
owner’s manual of the USB device.
NOTE
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot
be used.
NOTE
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for saving data.
