SmartMedia
This slot accommodates 3.3 V SmartMedia (RAM) from 2 MB to 128 MB.
❑You cannot use SmartMedia that does not conform to SSFDC specifications.
❑Operation of SmartMedia developed after the computer was manufactured is
not guaranteed.
❑After you finish using SmartMedia, return it to its case, which is resistant to
static electricity.

Write protection

SmartMedia can be write protected to safeguard your data.
To write-protect SmartMedia, apply a seal to the write-protect area. To write-enable,
remove the seal.
❑Do not use the standard Windows format, because your camera or other
device might not be able to read it. Formatting destroys all data on the card, so
be sure it contains no data you want to keep.
❑Do not reuse a write-protect seal that has been removed. A reused seal might
peel off in the computer or device and cause a malfunction.

Inserting

1. To insert SmartMedia, turn the card so that the connector (metal area) faces
up.
2. Push the card into the slot until it locks into place.
NOTE: If Windows does not recognize a SmartMedia card, try removing
the card and inserting it again. Be careful not to touch the connectors.
You could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy
data.
