About “Memory Stick” media

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a compact-size IC recording media with a high capacity. It has been designed not only exchanging/sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compliant products, but also for serving as a removable external storage media that can save data.

Notes on “Memory Stick”

On formatting (initialization)

•If you format media in which data has been already written, all the data will be erased. Please be cautious not to mistakenly erase any important data.

•Please make sure to format (initialize) a media by the formatter of a “Memory Stick” compliant product. If it is initialized with Windows Explorer, a FORMAT ERROR occurs, it might become unusable on this product.

About the size of “Memory Stick”

•This product has a slot that can take both standard size and Duo size. All the products with such a slot as this are equipped with a system which automatically measures the size of an inserted media. That’s why both standard-size “Memory Stick” media and smaller “Memory Stick Duo” media can be used on this product without any Memory Stick Duo Adaptor.

•Do not insert two or more pieces of media at the same time. It might cause damage to the product.

•When you use “Memory Stick Duo” media and “Memory Stick Micro” media on this product, please make sure to insert it in the right direction.

•“Memory Stick Duo” media and “Memory Stick Micro” media should be kept away from small children to prevent them from accidentally swallowing it.
