Protecting data on “Memory
Stick”
To prevent the accidental loss of
important data, use the write-protect
switch on the “Memory Stick”. When
you slide the switch to the write-protect
position, you can read data on a
“Memory Stick”, but it is impossible to
write or delete data.
LOCK LOCK
If an error message appears
If an error occurs when reading or
writing to a “Memory Stick” and a
message appears indicating that data
may be lost, it means that the “Memory
Stick” may be write-protected. In this
case, slide the write-protect switch as
illustrated above to remove the
protection. No data is erased from the
“Memory Stick” if this occurs.
