compensated for, and may occur in the 
following cases:

insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into a Memory 
Stick Duo adaptor.

Memory Stick Duo adaptor, make sure the 
“Memory Stick Duo” is inserted facing in the 
correct direction, then insert it all the way in. 
Note that improper use may cause a 
malfunction. Also, if you force the “Memory 
Stick Duo” into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor 
in the wrong direction, it may be damaged.
