SD and MMC cards
You can use an SD or MMC card to save or load data to and
from the Pa500's internal memory.
Note: Before you can use the SD/MMC card, you must format it on
the Pa500. Don't use your computer or digital camera to format
(initialize) a card you plan to use with the Pa500. If the card was
formatted on a different device, it may not work correctly with the
Pa500
Note: The SD/MMC card is not included. It must be purchased
separately.
Note: The Pa500 supports SD cards with a power supply voltage of
2.7–3.6V and capacities of 16 MB–2 GB, and SD card with ID.
SD and MMC card handling
• Do not remove the card from the drive while the Pa500 is read-
ing or saving data.
• The SD/MMC card may be hot immediately following use.
Power-off the Pa500 and wait for the card to cool before remov-
ing it.
• SD/MMC cards are precision parts. Do not bend them, drop
them, or subject them to physical shock.
• Avoid using or storing SD/MMC cards in locations of
extremely high or low temperature such as in direct sunlight, a
closed automobile, or near a heater, or in locations of high
humidity or excessive dust.
• Avoid using or storing SD/MMC cards in locations where they
may be subject to strong static electricity or electrical noise.
• Do not allow dirt or foreign matter to adhere to the contacts of
an SD/MMC card. If the contacts should be- come soiled, gently
wipe them off using a dry cloth.
• When you are not using an SD/MMC card, keep it in the pro-
tective case that was included with the card to prevent it from
being damaged by static electricity.
• Do not leave an SD/MMC card where it is accessible by infants
or children who might place it in their mouth and swallow it.
• Carefully read and observe the owner's manual included with
your SD/MMC card.

Write protecting an SD card

SD cards have a write protect switch that prevents the data from
being overwritten accidentally and lost. If you set the card's
switch to the protected setting, it will be impossible to write or
erase data on the card, or to format it. If you need to save edited
data on the card, move the switch back to its original unpro-
tected setting.
