Chapter 7 Data Saving and File Operations
• Hioki cannot recover data from damaged or faulty storage media resulting from
abnormalities. We are also unable to provide compensation for such data loss,
regardless of the contents or cause of the failure or damage. We recommend mak-
ing backups of all important data.
• Avoid forcing insertion of storage media backwards or in the wrong orientation, as
this could damage the media or instrument.
• If the eject button is sticking out too far, push it in and then insert the CF card all the
way into the slot. Inserting the CF card while the eject button is sticking out may
damage the instrument. If unable to insert the CF card all the way, do not force it.
Instead, press the eject button so that the CF card is ejected. Then press the eject
button again and insert the CF card all the way into the slot.
• Exercise care when using such products because static electricity could damage the
CF card or cause a malfunction of the instrument.
• The Media-Busy indicators (p. 19) light green when storage media is being
accessed. Do not turn the instrument off while an indicator is lit. Also avoid removing
storage media while it is being accessed, as that may corrupt stored data.
• Remove the storage media when transporting the instrument. Otherwise, the instru-
ment or media could be damaged.
• Do not move the instrument with a USB flash drive installed. Otherwise, the instru-
ment or media could be damaged.
• Some USB flash drives are easily affected by static electricity. Be careful handling
the USB flash drive to avoid damage to the drive or instrument malfunctions due to
static electricity.
• Some USB flash drives may prevent the instrument from turning on or recognizing
the drive when inserted. In this case, turn the instrument on before inserting the USB
flash drive. We recommend testing a USB flash drive before use.
Storage media have a limited usable lifetime. After long-term use, data reading and
writing will fail, at which time the media must be replaced.
