Cf Card Handling; Cf Card Access Switch - Pro-face GP2000H Series User Manual

3.5.1 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.)
To view CF Card data on a personal computer, insert the CF Card into a CF Card
Adapter, and then insert the adapter into your personal computer's PC card slot.
In some cases, and depending on the model of personal computer you are using,
the CF Card's data may not be read correctly.
If your personal computer is not equipped with a PC card slot, please use a stan-
dard type PC Card or CF Card reader. All of Digital's CF Card operation tests
have been performed using the following equipment.
Manufacture Name
I-O DATA DEVICE, INC.
The connection between a personal computer and the CF Card reader has been
tested using an IBM-compatible machine. This does not mean, however, that all
IBM-compatible machines can be used to replicate the results.

3.5.2 CF Card Access Switch

The CF Card Access Switch is a switch that the GP unit can use to access the
CF Card. Because the factory setting is OFF, the GP unit cannot access the CF
Card simply by inserting the CF Card.
When using the CF Card, set the CF Card Access Switch 1 to ON.
Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, turn the GP unit's CF Card
Access Switch OFF, then confirm that the Access lamp is not lit, to
prevent damage to or loss of the CF Card's internal data.
