Using the Memory card reader

Using the Memory card reader
The Memory card reader supports the use of Memory Stick®,
Secure Digital™ (SD™), or MMC® (MultiMediaCard®) media.
These media can be used with a variety of digital products: digital
music players, cellular phones, PDAs, digital cameras, digital video
camcorders, etc.
To use a micro or mini SD card, an SD adapter is required.
To avoid damaging your card, never insert a Memory Stick Duo™ card
without an adapter into the Memory card reader. Compatibility is not
guaranteed even with an adapter. See your system’s Detailed Specifications
for a compatibility list.
The Memory card reader may also support other types of media.
Do not use the Copy Disk function for this type of media. To copy
data from one media to another, use the drag-and-drop feature of the
Windows® operating system.

Inserting memory media

The following instructions apply to all types of supported media
devices.
1Turn the media so that the contacts (metal areas) are face down.
2Push the media into the adapter until it locks in place.

(Sample Illustration) Inserting memory media
When inserting memory media, do not touch the metal contacts. You
could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy
data.
