Write-protecting SmartMedia data
In order to protect important data from accidental
erasure, a SmartMedia card can be write-protected to
prevent data from being written.
To do so, apply a write-protect sticker at the location
shown in the figure (the write-protect area).
• When a sticker is applied in the write-protect area, the
SmartMedia card cannot be used to store photographs
taken with a digital camera.
• To make it possible to write data to the card again,
simply remove the write-protect sticker.
• Do not attempt to reuse a sticker once you have peeled
it off. Doing so could damage the unit.

The card can only be set in the slot in one direction. If

For details, refer to the user’s manual accompanying
your card.
