provided. Write only in the area provided. Pencil may be used.
• To write protect the card, place the write-protection seal over
the card’s write-protect area.
- Be sure to affix the seal within the write -protect area so the seal
lays flat (no bubbles or raised edges).
- Write-protect may not work if the seal is dirty. Clean the seal with a
soft, clean, dry cloth.
- The DM-9 cannot read, write, or delete data when the write
protection seal is placed over the write protect area.
