RAM cards
and the
Secret
function
If you are using a RAM card in the unit, the card is also
protected by any password that you register. If you
remove a RAM card and change your password, or
register a password for the first time, you will be unable
to use the card in the unit again unless you re-register
the original password, or delete your password,
respectively. It is therefore crucial to keep track of any
passwords used with specific RAM cards. Also, before
you use a new RAM card for the first time, you must
delete any registered password or the unit will not
recognize
the card (see “Changing or deleting the
password” on p. 286).
