ADAPTER
When the card indicator (“SD”) on the unit’s display is fl ashing, the card is being read from or written to. Do not turn off the unit or remove the card.
Such action may result in malfunction or loss of the card’s contents.
 Inserting foreign objects can cause a malfunction.
 You can use SD Cards with capacities from 8 MB to 4 GB (¼ 76).
Holding a disc or card
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting 
oil from your fi ngers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of 
discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the metal part) of SD 
cards.
Cleaning discs or cards
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation 
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a 
straight line from the centre of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges when not 
in use; this helps to protect against scratches and dirt.
Storing discs and cards
 Do not place or store discs and cards in the following locations:
 Direct sunlight
 Very dusty or humid areas
 Near a heat source
 Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation 
can occur)
 Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
 Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent 
swallowing.
Discs to avoid
 Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
 Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing 
improper operation or damage to the unit
 Cracked discs
 Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such 
as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that 
were previously labeled or re-labeled)
