Formatting a card

<Mac OS XOperation>

Before formatting the card

If a card is going to be used with a digital camera, be sure to format it with the camera you are using. Cards formatted by the computer using the MAUSB-100 may not be recognized by the digital camera.

It is not possible to format a card or write, move or erase data on a card when the write-protect switch is set to the ON position. Set the write- protect switch to the OFF position and format the card.

Formatting erases all data in the card. All important data should be copied to a hard disk, etc. beforehand.

Formatting the card for Mac OS X

1.Select the Macintosh hard disk icon on the desktop.

2.Select [Applications] – [Utilities] – [Disk Utility] – [Erase].

3.Select the icon of the card you want to format.

4.Click the [Erase] button.
