3.4.1 CF card Handling

The CF Card has a data overwrite limit of approximately 100,000 times. There-
fore, be sure to back up all CF Card data regularly to another storage media.
(100,000 times assumes the overwriting of 500KB of data in DOS format)
Two methods are available for backing up data. After using either method 1) or
method 2), use your PC to save your data to the CF Card.
(1) If your PC is equipped with a PC Card Slot
To view CF Card data on a personal computer, first, insert the CF Card into a CF
Card Adapter.
(2) If your PC is NOT equipped with a PC Card slot
Use a commercially available PC Card Reader, or a CF Card Reader.

• All of Pro-face's CF Card operation testing has been performed using the follow-
ing equipment. The connection between a personal computer and the CF Card
reader has been tested using a Windows® compatible machine. This does not mean,
however, that all Windows® compatible machines can be used. Please contact your
PC or CF Card reader manufacturer directly for details.
