    To make the FA-127 more convenient, the user interface of the program automatically adjusts itself to the CASIO model you have specified. As we do not want to confuse you with the functions of other CASIO models, the FA-127 only offers you the functions that are available on your own Digital Diary.

    . If transmission is aborted on one unit, the other unit automati- cally stops, too. Note that once data has been received by the CASIO Digital Diary, it is appended to the existing records. Doubles are not normally automatically erased, though some Digital Diaries (such as the SF-M10, SF-R10 and SF-R20) do recognize them in certain areas and reject them.
