Using a memory card

Memory cards usable with the MC-09

The MC-09 can use commercially available SmartMedia memory cards. However, a memory card is not included. You can purchase a memory card at a nearby computer shop or digital camera dealer. When you purchase a memory card, make sure that it meets the following conditions.

•Power supply voltage: 3.3 V

•Capacity: 2 MB–128 MB

*The MC-09 cannot use SmartMedia of types other than the above.

*If you use 2 MB Smart Media, it may not be possible to save all data.

Cautions when using a memory card

*The power of the MC-09 must be off when you insert or remove a memory card. Inserting or removing a memory card when the power is on will damage the memory card as well as the data in the MC-09.

*Make sure that the memory card is oriented correctly, and

push it all the way into the slot.
