Expanding Your A701
Using a SD/MMC Card
Your A701 has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional SD or MMC
storage card, or SD IO wireless network card. With the removable memory, you
can store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
To use a SD/MMC card, insert it into the slot, with the connector pointing to the
slot and its label facing the front of your A701. Follow the instructions supplied
with the card for more information.
To remove a card, first make sure that no application is accessing the card. Then
slightly push the top edge of the card to release it and pull it out of the slot.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you
are not using it.
When turning A701 off or making it enter the suspend (sleep) mode, wait for 5 seconds
after the screen goes blank, and then remove the SD/MMC card from the slot. Doing so
ensures uninterrupted access and prevents data damage.
Before using a SD IO card, first install its supplied driver on A701 and then restart A701.
Doing so ensures that A701 can recognize the card correctly.
