Notes on using the Memory Select function

You cannot use multiple memory blocks simultaneously or continuously.

Never operate the Memory Select switch when the “Memory Stick” is inserted in the slot of the AWS-G500, as it may cause damage. Sony Corporation assumes no liability for failure resulting from such operation.

Make sure that the Memory Select switch is properly positioned to the side. When the switch is not positioned properly, the AWS-G500 may be damaged or malfunction.

Before inserting the “Memory Stick” in the slot of the AWS-G500, make sure that the memory you want to use is already selected.
