The following describes how to insert a SmartMedia card into
the card slot and how to remove it.
To insert a SmartMedia card into the card slot
With the contact side of the SmartMedia card facing
downwards, insert the card into the card slot. Carefully push
the card into the slot as far as it will go.
NOTE
• When inserting a SmartMedia card into the card slot,
make sure you carefully orient the card correctly so it
slides correctly straight into the slot. Make sure that the
card is not at an angle, which can cause it to enter into
the space above or below the slot by mistake.
To remove a SmartMedia card from the slot
After making sure that the message “Pls Wait” is not on the
display, carefully pull the card from the slot.*
* Never remove the SmartMedia card from the card slot or
turn off the keyboard card while any of the following
conditions exists.
• While there is the CARD indicator on the display
• While the message “Pls Wait” is on the display, indicating
that a card access operation is being performed
IMPORTANT!
• Never remove the SmartMedia card from the card slot
or turn off the keyboard while card data is being accessed
by a read or format operation. Doing so can corrupt the
data on the SmartMedia card or even damage the card
slot.

Precautions
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to carefully read all documentation that comes
with the SmartMedia card for important information about
how to handle it.
• Avoid storing and using SmartMedia cards in the
following types of locations. Such conditions can cause
corruption of data stored on the card.
• Areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or
corrosive agents
• Areas subject to strong electrostatic charge or
electrical noise
• Whenever handling a SmartMedia card, make sure that
you never touch its contacts with your fingers.
• If the data access lamp is lit and the message “Pls Wait”
is on the display, it means that data on the SmartMedia
card is being accessed by a save, read, or delete
operation. Never remove the SmartMedia card from the
card slot or turn off the keyboard while the card is being
accessed. Doing so can corrupt the data on the
SmartMedia card or even damage the card slot.
• Never try to insert any type of card other than a 3.3V
SmartMedia card into the card slot. Doing so can
damage the keyboard.
• Inserting a SmartMedia card that is charged with static
electricity into the card slot can cause malfunction of
the keyboard. If this happens, turn the keyboard off and
then back on again.
• A SmartMedia card that has been in the card slot for a
long time may feel hot when you remove it. This is normal
and does not indicate malfunction.
• Note that a SmartMedia card has a limited service life.
After long use, you may not be able to store data to,
read data from, and/or delete data from a card. When
this happens, you will need to purchase a new
SmartMedia card.
