prevention switch to “LOCK”, data cannot be
recorded, edited, or deleted.
The position and shape of the write-protect switch
may differ between the various types of “Memory

reading or writing data.
• Data may be damaged if:
- The “Memory Stick” is removed or the
AWS-G500 is turned off while reading or
writing.
- You use the “Memory Stick” in a location
subject to the effects of static electricity or
electric noise.
• We recommend that you back up important data
recorded on the “Memory Stick”.
• Do not affix anything other than the supplied
label to the “Memory Stick” label area.
• Affix the label so that it does not stick out
beyond the label area.
• When storing or carrying a “Memory Stick”,
keep it in its original case.
• Do not touch the terminal of the “Memory
Stick” with anything, including your fingers or
metallic objects.
• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory

About data
• When you set the “Memory Stick” erasure
prevention switch to “LOCK”, data such as
images and mails cannot be recorded, edited, or
deleted. Be sure to unlock the switch before
transferring or copying data on the AWS-G500
to the “Memory Stick”, or erasing data on the
“Memory Stick”.
• We recommend that you make a backup copy of
important data on another “Memory Stick” or on
a hard disk using a computer.
Notes on using “Memory
Stick Duo”
• Use a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen, to
move the “Memory Stick Duo” write-protect
switch.
• Do not write forcefully on the “Memory Stick
Duo” memo area.
Notes on using the Memory
Select function
• You cannot use multiple memory blocks
simultaneously or continuously.
• Never operate the Memory Select switch when
the “Memory Stick” is inserted in the slot of the
AWS-G500, as it may cause damage. Sony
Corporation assumes no liability for failure
resulting from such operation.
• Make sure that the Memory Select switch is
properly positioned to the side. When the switch
is not positioned properly, the AWS-G500 may
be damaged or malfunction.
• Before inserting the “Memory Stick” in the slot
of the AWS-G500, make sure that the memory
you want to use is already selected.
• A “Memory Stick” with the Memory Select
function allows the user to select the internal
memory of the “Memory Stick” with the
selector switch. Care must be taken in the
following cases as the supported devices only
detect the selected memory:
- Formatting is only processed for the
selected memory.
