7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your picture viewer comes with built-in ash memory for storing pictures and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SD card (up to 1GB). The picture viewer senses whether a memory card is inserted, and the memory card has a higher priority over the internal memory.
Memory Card Precautions
1. Use only an SD memory card with this picture viewer.
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the rst time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used in another media player or other devices. Refer to “Formatting the Internal Memory or a Memroy Card” on page13 for details.

IMP ORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the picture viewer before inserting or removing a
memory card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inser ting it. Never try to force a
memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.
• SD memory cards have a write protection switch that you can use to
protect les from accidental deletion. However, you must remove the write protection whenever you want to store new les, format it, or delete its les.
Files contained in the SD card recorded by other picture viewe rs may
conict with the izonePHOTO™ picture viewer, and valuable data in your existing SD card may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the izonePHOTO™ picture viewer. We strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SD card for the izonePHOTO™ picture viewer. The manufacturer is not liable for losing or corrupting any valuable data or les in your SD card due to your improper operation.
As tests prove, the izonePHOTO™ works best with popular brands of
memory cards such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar and TOSHIBA. Consider using these cards for best performance.
Inserting the SD Card
Turn off the picture viewer. Insert the SD card and ensure the card is inserted correctly as illustrated.
Removing the SD Card
To remove the SD card, turn off your picture viewer and gently push the SD card inwards. And then release it for the SD card to eject from the SD card slot.
55
IMP ORTANT!
• Never inser t any other object into the picture viewer’s SD card slot. Doing
so creates the risk of damage to the picture viewer and card.
• Should water or any foreign objects ever get into the card slot,
immediately turn off the picture viewer, remove the batteries and contact your dealer or nearest ser vice provider.
• Never remove a card from the picture viewer while the picture viewer is
powered on. Doing so can cause the recording operation to fail, and even damage the memory card.
