Precautions  
Avoid the following to prevent data damage. Sony does not provide any guarantee  
for damaged data.  
− Do not remove a memory card or turn off the Reader while reading or writing  
data.  
− Do not operate the Reader in the location where static charge or electrical noise  
is present.  
Do not use a label other than the dedicated one in the label area.  
Do not use or store the Reader in a location subject to:  
− extreme high temperature, such as in a sun-heated car.  
− direct sunlight.  
− high humidity or places with corrosive substances.  
Do not insert an incompatible memory card, as it may cause malfunction.  
Do not use a deformed memory card or adapter.  
If you attempt to insert Memory Stick Micro™ media without attaching to an M2™  
Duo-size adapter, it may become jammed.  
Do not remove a memory card from the media slot while data on the memory card  
is being edited. Otherwise, edited data will not be saved.  
Keep both memory cards and adapter out of reach of small children, to avoid  
accidental swallowing.  
If a format process is executed, all the files, even including write-protected image  
files, will be deleted.  
We recommend that important data be backed up. If you change or erase a folder  
name via PC, or move file to a folder other than “database, there is a possibility that  
data recorded in a memory card might be lost or become unplayable by this  
product.
