Bridge media Inserting/removing
Read the following precautions before you insert or remove a Bridge media:
◆
Do not turn off the power or remove or reinsert a Bridge media while data is
being written or read. Data could be destroyed. Wait for the
Bridge media
indicator (SmarMedia indicator, Memory Stick indicator and Compact Flash
indicator) to go out.
◆
Do not touch the Bridge media’s connector. You could expose the storage area
to static electricity, which can destroy data.
◆
Hold the Bridge media straight when you insert or remove it.
◆
Pull the Bridge media completely out when you remove it. Do not leave it
partially inserted.
SmartMedia
This slot accommodates 3.3 V SmartMedia (RAM) from 2 MB to 128 MB.
◆
You cannot use SmartMedia that does not conform to SSFDC specifications.
◆
Operation of SmartMedia developed after the computer was manufactured is
not guaranteed.
◆
After you finish using SmartMedia, return it to its case, which is resistant to
static electricity.
Write protection
SmartMedia can be write protected to safeguard your data.
To write-protect SmartMedia, apply a seal to the write-protect area. To write-enable,
remove the seal.
◆
Do not use the standard Windows format, because your camera or other
device might not be able to read it. Formatting destroys all data on the card, so
be sure it contains no data you want to keep.
◆
Do not reuse a write-protect seal that has been removed. A reused seal might
peel off in the computer or device and cause a malfunction.
Inserting
1. To insert SmartMedia, turn the card so that the connector (metal area) faces
up.
