Using a memory card

Installing a memory card

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB. Depending on the 
memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your 
device.

•  

Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the device. Using an 
incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data 
stored in it.

•  

Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

•  

The device supports the FAT and the exFAT file systems for memory cards. When 
inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device asks to reformat the 
memory card.

•  

Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.

•  

When inserting a memory card into the device, the memory card’s file directory 
appears in the 

My Files

 

 

SD card

 folder.

Remove the back cover and battery.

Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards.

Replace the battery and back cover.
