Well, first I'd figure out which OS version is installed

MODE + PAD 10 (Other) > F1 (GLOBAL):
If it says: OS 1.x (of course, without saying "JJ" in front of it), then it's an old AKAI OS... and as far as I can remember, that doesn't have the slice function.
Your Options now are as following: either update to AKAI OS v. 2.11 or install JJ OS. I advice the latter. Check the stickies on the JJ OS board here to find all the info: JJ-OS Resources; JJ-OS Faq and JJ-OS manual (.pdf) for the JJ-OS.
