Notes
When multiple memory cards are inserted while the unit is turned on, the card inserted first
has priority to be recognized.
You can use a “Memory Stick Duo” without an adaptor, as the unit automatically detects
the size of the inserted “Memory Stick.”
Do not insert more than one memory card in each slot, as damage may occur.
Before use, check that the memory card is inserted correctly.
Insert the memory card straight. If you push the memory card by force, this will cause
damage to both the memory card and the unit.
Do not remove the memory card while importing, as damage to data may occur.
If you attempt to insert a “Memory Stick Micro” or miniSD/microSD without an “M2” or
SD adaptor respectively, it may become jammed.
Memory cards should be kept away from small children to prevent them from accidental
swallowing.
Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot.
Do not apply too much pressure to the memory card in the slot, as it may cause a
malfunction.
