Using a memory card
Memory cards usable with
the MC-09
The MC-09 can use commercially available SmartMedia
memory cards. However, a memory card is not included.
You can purchase a memory card at a nearby computer shop
or digital camera dealer. When you purchase a memory card,
make sure that it meets the following conditions.
• Power supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Capacity: 2 MB–128 MB
* The MC-09 cannot use SmartMedia of types other than the
above.
* If you use 2 MB Smart Media, it may not be possible to save
all data.
Cautions when using a
memory card
* The power of the MC-09 must be off when you insert or
remove a memory card. Inserting or removing a memory card
when the power is on will damage the memory card as well as
the data in the MC-09.
* Make sure that the memory card is oriented correctly, and
push it all the way into the slot.

* Never turn on the power when a memory card is inserted part-
way into the slot. Doing so will damage the data in internal
memory.
* Never turn off the power while appears in the
display. Doing so will damage the data in the memory card
and internal memory.
Formatting a memory card
This operation prepares the memory card for use on the MC-
09. You will need to format a newly purchased memory card

used with another device can be used on the MC-09.

the display. When formatting is finished, you’re returned to
where you were in step 2.
* If you decide not to format the card, press the [SETUP] button
or the [EXIT] button.
