Storage
Record media to industry standard removable Compact Flash (CF) card modules. CF
cards are formatted for the Mac HFS+ file system so they mount on your OSX desktop for
immediate editing and file access when plugged into a 3rd-party CF card reader.
Formatting Media
To format CF card media, it must first be inserted into an empty slot on Ki Pro Mini and/or
selected using the SLOT button (see previous topic). Once the media is selected, follow
these steps:
1. For media that has never been used in a Ki Pro Mini before, the "Warning Media
Unformatted" prompt may appear.
2. Press the STOP button
3. Press the MEDIA button
4. Press SELECT (up or down) repeatedly until you see the menu 16.1 Format Media.
5. Press ADJUST up arrow. Ki Pro Mini will display “FORMAT”. Press the ADJUST up arrow
button. Ki Pro Mini will display “ERASE S1” (or S2). Press and hold the ADJUST up
arrow button for 2 seconds or longer and then formatting will begin. (Select any
other key to abort the format operation.) Ki Pro Mini will display formatting progress,
Warning!
Ki Pro Mini has no user-serviceable parts. To remove power from the unit, remove the 4-
pin XLR power connector to ensure disconnection. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
Warning!
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Warning!
Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain readily
accessible and operable
Warning!
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.
Caution!
Failure to properly mount or dismount CF media, or an unexpected loss of power while
recording, can result in an unrecoverable data loss.
