Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring 3.4 CF Card Insertion and Removal CF Cards can only be used with AGP-3300/3301 Series units. When using the AGP Unit and a CF Card, observe the following precautions: Prior to inserting or removing a CF Card, be sure to turn the AGP unit’s CF Card ACCESS switch OFF and to confirm that the ACCESS lamp is not lit.
Page 55
AGP-3300 Series User Manual (2) Insert the CF Card in the CF Card Slot, until the eject button is pushed forward. (3) Close the cover. (As shown.) (4) Confirm that the CF Card Access LED turns ON. • The AGP cannot access the CF Card if the CF Card cover is already opened. If, however, the CF Card Cover is opened while the AGP is accessing the CF Card, access will not be interrupted.
Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring 3.4.1 CF Card Handling The CF Card has a data overwrite limit of approximately 100,000 times. Therefore, 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.
