2.5. Restrictions for Macintosh
1) Format
Do not initialize (format) memory cards on your Mac. Memory cards initialized on your
Mac may not be available for devices such as digital cameras. It is best to format
memory cards in your digital camera or digital device.
2) Ejecting a memory card.
This product does not provide auto eject function. When removing a memory card, first
perform the un-mount operation and then pull it out of the HMD manually.
3) Un-mounting two or more memory cards.
If you try to un-mount two or more memory cards at a time, some of them may not be
un-mounted and remain mounted. It is best to un-mount each card one at a time.
4) Connecting the USB cable.
Do not connect the USB cable with a CompactFlash card or Microdrive inserted in the
HMD. It may not be recognized by the Mac OS correctly, and may not operate properly.
Before connecting the USB cable, remove all memory cards from the HMD.
5) Microdrive.
When using an IBM Microdrive, remove other memory cards. Because Microdrive
requires more power than other memory cards, if it is used with other memory cards at
the same time, an error may occur due to a shortage of power.
6) Startup.
You cannot start up your Macintosh from a memory card. Do not start or restart the Mac
OS with any memory cards inserted. The OS may not recognize correctly. Depending on
the state of memory cards, your Mac may hang during the startup of the OS.
7) USB hub.
If you use a USB hub, use a self-powered hub with an AC adaptor. The USB HMD
requires 500 mA supplied from the USB port. For a bus-powered hub without an AC
adaptor, it will not operate due to shortage of power.
8) USB port
Connect the USB HMD to a USB port on your Macintosh. Do not connect it to a USB
port on the keyboard. It will not operate due to shortage of power.
