What is the SD memory card? The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory which at 24 mm x 32 mm x 2.1 mm is about the size of a postage stamp. It is a next-generation recording medium which can be use instead of conventional storage devices such as MDs (mini discs), CDs (compact discs) and cassette tapes. In addition, it allows data to be repeatedly recorded, played and erased. The SD memory card can be used to store computer image files, video images (still pictures) and presentations created using Microsoft FbwerPoint which have been converted into JPEG images using the accessory JPEG Converter software, letting you make "PC-free" presentations using just the LCD projector. Examples of using the SD memory card Refer to "Capturing projected images onto the SD memory card" on page 12. o> o o a> cc Capturing images using the projector Tuner Video signal Projector Computer Image file SD memory card The freeze function can be used to capture either moving pictures as still pictures.

Notes on handling Be sure to observe the following. • Do not disassemble or modify the card. • Do not subject the card to strong shocks, and do not twist it, bend it, drop it, step on it or immerse it in liquids. • Do not rub the card with cloth or plastic, or bring it close to objects which may generate static charges or magnetic fields. • Do not touch the metal terminals with hands or metal objects, attach stickers to them, or allow them to become contaminated in any way. • Do not remove the attached label from the card. • Do not attach any other labels or stickers to the card. Notes on storage After removing the SD memory card from the projector or other device, always insert it into its protective case. • Do no leave the card inside hot vehicles or in other places with high temperatures such as places exposed to direct sunlight. • Do not leave the card in places which are exposed to substances such as corrosive gases. Protecting valuable data • Do not turn off the projector power supply or remove the SD memory card from the projector while the card is being accessed for reading or writing (while the SD memory card access indicator inside the card slot cover at the rear of the projector is flashing). Failure to observe this may result in loss of data. • Always make a backup of the data which is stored in the SD memory card. Accidental mistakes in using the card may sometimes result in the loss of valuable data. 7 Making backups of the data in the SD memory card • Double-click on the drive icon (refer to page 1 ) for the SD memory card in My Computer (or on the Desktop if you are using a Macintosh), and then drag the DCIM directory to the Desktop (while clicking the Option button if you are using a Macintosh). This will create a backup copy on your computer of all data in the DCIM directory. Write-protect switch • If the write-protect switch on the SD memory card is moved to the LOCK position, it will not be possible to capture images using a projector or to use any file editing functions such as deleting or moving image files. (An error message will be displayed if you try to use any of these functions.) • If the SD memory card is inserted into a computer using the PC card adapter while the write-protect switch is at the LOCK position, a blue warning screen will be displayed when the computer attempts to access the card. If this happens, press any key on the computer's keyboard to clear the error display. Check that the write-protect switch is not at the LOCK position when using the SD memory card in a comput...
