Write-protecting a Memory Stick
Memory Sticks are designed with an erasure prevention switch to protect valuable data from accidental 
erasure or overwriting.
Move the tab to the right or left* to set or release write-protection. When the erasure prevention switch is 
off, data can be saved on the Memory Stick. When the erasure prevention switch is on, data can be read 
from but not saved on the Memory Stick.
 
* The 128 MB Memory Stick has a vertical lock.
