P2 Card Write Protect Switch
When set to the “PROTECT” position, saving, editing and deleting
files are disabled. Do not change the protect switch’s position
when the card is in the Sonnet card reader. If you need to change
the switch position, follow the instructions on card removal as
previously described, change the card’s switch position, and then
reinsert the card into the slot.
Tips
• Hot-Plugging the Device
You may connect and disconnect the Sonnet card reader from your
computer (or intermediate device) while it is powered.
• P2 Memory Card Formatting
For the best results, format P2 memory cards in camera. In some
cases, a card formatted in the Sonnet reader will not be recognized
and must be reformatted in the camera.
