Troubleshooting

WARNING

Do not try to open the case of the PhotoBank else you will void the warranty. If a

fault occurs, check the points listed below first. If you are unable to solve the problem with this information, please consult your dealer or service center.

Q: While copying data from memory card to HDD or reversely, the PhotoBank always

displays “Operation Error”.

A: The memory card might be unformatted or damaged. Use your digital camera to

format the memory card to verify if the memory card is good.

Q: Under Windows, there are two removable drives, but the memory card can’t read/write

via the PhotoBank.

A: The memory card might be unformatted or damaged. Use your digital camera to verify

if the memory card is good. The memory card might need to be re-formatted.

Q: PhotoBank can’t boot in standalone mode. A: You might have reformatted the HDD with the wrong format. PhotoBank can only

operate in the FAT32 format. You must connect the PhotoBank to the computer and reformat the HDD using the FAT32 format.

Q: Windows 98 can’t setup the PhotoBank properly. A: Under Windows 98, the “New Hardware Install Wizard” does not find a suitable driver in

the CDROM. It is because the PhotoBank has been connected to the computer before installing the driver and Windows 98 has installed the wrong driver. You should disconnect the PhotoBank from the computer, uninstall the wrong driver, install the correct driver from CDROM, and then connect your PhotoBank to the computer.

Q: Mac OS can recognize 2 removable drives, but the HDD can’t be detected. A: This might because you have formatted the HDD with NTFS format. Mac OS can’t

recognize this format. This will also caus e the PhotoBank not to boot in standalone mode. You must connect the PhotoBank to a computer using a Microsoft Windows OS and reformat the HDD using the FAT32 format.

Q: The PhotoBank hangs/lags/stalls. A: Whenever the PhotoBank hangs, you can press the Reset button to reboot the

PhotoBank.

Warning

Any unauthorized attempt to disassemble the PhotoBank will void the limited warranty.
