■ Handling PC Card
To discharge static electricity from your body, touch a metallic surface near you before handling the unit.
Never touch the PC card being inserted into the PC card slot while recording and playing back.
■ Cautions for recording data on a PC Card
The recognized file system is FAT16 or FAT32. NTFS and FAT12 are not available. (By formatting media
of 16MB or less the file system will normally become FAT12.)
Before using a PC Card on LX, format it in FAT16 or FAT32 by Windows PC. A PC Card that is not
formatted cannot be formatted by the LX main unit.
It might take a long time to recognize or save data when using a FAT32 formatted PC Card on LX. In
such a case, the situation might be improved by re-formatting on the LX main unit.
In you are using a PC Card that has been repeatedly used for saving or removing data, you might not be
able to record data on the PC Card that is supposed to have sufficient free space remaining. In such a
case, re-format the PC Cards again after backing up the data to another media.
The maximum amount of free space on a PC Card, which is displayed on LX Navi, etc., is 4GB. “%”
displayed on the unit means the value is correct.
The maximum file size of the PC card available on LX is 2GB in FAT16 or 4GB in FAT32. However, the
actual file size will be reduced, depending on the unit of data.
When continuing to record data exceeding the maximum size, another new file will be made to keep on
recording automatically. At this time, the header file or the voice file will be moved onto a new file.
These groups (data, header, and voice) of files are recorded separately as above, and can be
reproduced independently.
If the recording condition meets either of the followings, the maximum size of the continuous recorded
data would be 4GB in total. (It might exceed the value, although this is not guaranteed)
1. Synchronization recording (master or slave setting)
2. Timer [recording start time, specified recording time, timeout] recording
3. Trigger [level, external trigger] recording
If so many files are saved on the PC Card, it might take a long time to get the file table of data
reproduced. In such a case, reformat the PC Cards again after backing up the data to another media.
The maximum number of folder or data files that can be made and operated correctly is 10,000.
The number of files exceeding 10,000 can be recorded, but not copied or reproduced.
When using a PC Card with a low writing speed, the recording might be stopped since the data writing
speed does not keep up with it. Use the recommended card only.
■ Button operations of LX main unit
In case you operate the buttons of the LX main unit that is connected with supplied LX Navi software, the LX
might not operate correctly. (Operate the LX Navi first when connected to the LX Navi)
