Warning: If both LED lights flash during copying this indicates an error condition. Copying

may not have been successful. Verify that the memory card is seated properly and repeat the

above steps. If an error condition happens again, the flashcard may be corrupted. and you may

need to perform Scan disc using a card reader for your computer or your digital camera. This

can also happen with a MAC, if the MAC is used to format the card. Use the camera to format

the card. Be sure not to erase your SM or CF memory cards until the pictures have been

successfully copied

When the copy process is complete:

The Image Bank will return to the standby mode. A new directory, with a 4-digit serial number

such as “0001.ITD”, will have been created in the hard drive. After each copy operation, a new

directory will be created containing the most recently copied picture files. The CP-150 does not

overwrite existing picture files. It creates new copies. Helpful Hint: The most recently created

directory will have the highest serial number.

Power off

From the standby mode, there are two ways to turn off the Image Bank.

1. The CP-150 will shut off automatically in 30 seconds.

2. Press and hold the power key for 3 seconds.

With the CP-150 in the Off mode, unplug your flash card.

useful with an old hard drive and is not recommended. To re-format or add partitions to the hard

drive, see your computer manual.

Image Bank Troubleshooting

IV Troubleshooting

Disk Full

first and fifth partition bars, it means the CP-150’s hard drive is full. You need to transfer some

files to your PC and erase files from the CP-150 hard drive.

Note: The hard drive is “full” when there is less than 2 times the amount of the memory card’s

total space.

File system error

If the Busy and Ready LEDs are off and the LCD panel is blinking showing the HD icon and first

three partition bars, it means the HDD has a file system error. The HDD might be unformatted.

Consult your computer documentation.

Faulty SM card

If the Busy and Ready LEDs are off and the LCD panel is blinking showing the SM icon and the

first three partition bars it means the SM card has a file system error. The SM card might be

unformatted. Use your camera to format the SM card as necessary.

Faulty CF card

If the Busy and Ready LEDs are off and the LCD panel is blinking showing the CF icon and the

first three partition bars, it means the CF card has a file system error. The CF card might be

unformatted. . Use your camera to format as necessary.

Internal Error

If the Busy and Ready LEDs are off and the LCD panel is blinking showing only the five partition

bars, it means Image Bank has an internal error. Please contact Sima customer service at 800-

345-7462 or 412-828-3700.

Remark: We strongly recommend using SCANDISK, a Win98/2000’s system tool, to

scan and check the CP-150’s hard drive every couple months.
