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.

* Never turn on the power when a memory card is inserted part-

way into the slot. Doing so will damage the data in internal
memory.

* Never turn off the power while

appears in the

display. Doing so will damage the data in the memory card
and internal memory.

or the [EXIT] button.
