Before You Start
 
The power of the SP-404 must be turned off when you insert or 
remove a memory card. If you insert or remove a memory card 
while the power is on, you risk damaging the data of the 
memory card or rendering it unusable.
 
1.
 
Insert the memory card into the card slot located on the 
front panel.
 
Carefully insert the memory card all the way in—until it is 
firmly in place.
 
If a memory card is being used for the first time, you’ll have to 
format it on the SP-404. (p. 38)
Memory cards that were formatted on another device will not 
be recognized by the SP-404.
 
1.
 
Press the eject button located beside the front panel card 
slot. The memory card pops out partway. Grasp the 
memory card and pull it all the way out.

Preventing Theft of the Memory 
Card
When the SP-404 is shipped from the factory, a special screw is 
installed in the location marked 
★ on the bottom of the unit. 
With the memory card cover attached, you can use a Phillips 
screwdriver to remove this screw and move it over to the hole 
marked “CARD LOCK.” Once screwed in there, the memory 
card cover cannot be removed. This will help prevent theft of 
the memory card.
When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of 
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four 
corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons 
and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no 
buttons or controls get damaged.
When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to 
avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
