Data recorded on a SmartMedia memory card using a Digital Voice Recorder DS- 2000/DS-3000 can be accessed by a computer by using the optional MA-2 digital camera accessory PC card adapter, or the optional FlashPath MAFP-2N 3.5-inch floppy disk drive adapter, or the optional MAUSB-2 SmartMedia memory card reader/writer. When using any of these accessories to access SmartMedia memory cards with a computer, make note of the following tips: Note We are not liable for any failures related to SmartMedia memory cards to which data has been transferred or on which data has been edited using any equip- ment or adapters other than those recommended by us.

14 Getting Ready Tips on Handling SmartMedia Cards on a Personal Computer -Do not format SmartMedia memory cards on a personal computer. SmartMedia cards that have been formatted on a personal computer cannot be read or written by a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000. Format SmartMedia memory cards using a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or a CAMEDIA Olympus digital camera. -Folder names that have been set using a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or DSS Player for Mac are valid only on a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or DSS Player for Mac.
