Basic operations

Inserting P2 card

When inserting a P2 card into the P2 card slot of the P2 drive provided in the unit, be absolutely sure to position the P2 card parallel to the slot and insert it straight into the drive.

Forcing cards in the slot at an angle may damage P2 card, P2 Drive or this unit.

To prevent cards from falling out, protect the unit from dust, and reduce the risk of exposure to static electricity, remove P2 cards before moving the unit.

Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device.

To Prevent Accidental Erasure of P2 Card Content
