mounting operation before un-plug the USB cable according explanation 2).
Do not un-plug without un-mounting operation, it may cause hang up or damage of data
in the Memory Stick.
4) Sleep Mode
USB MSR supports sleep mode of Mac, but we recommended to un-mount operation a
Memory Stick before in the sleep mode. And it may cause the trouble with sleep
operation, depending on version of Mac OS or a type of Mac. In this case, un-mount and
then un-plug the USB cable before entering sleep mode.
Make sure not to insert / eject the media and plug-in / unplug the USB cable in the sleep.
Especially the notebook type Mac wakes up automatically when plug-in / unplug the

USB cable in sleep, so it causes the unintended battery consumption or hard disk spin-
up.
When carrying Mac, make sure to un-mount all media and unplug the USB cable.
3 . 3 . Restrictions for Macintosh
1) Initialize (formatting) a Memory Stick.
If you have a digital camera, do not initialize (formatting or erasing) on Macintosh.
Please format with your digital camera. When you format a Memory Stick on Macintosh,
some digital cameras may be unable to use it. If you want format on Mac, you have to
select the DOS format. Do not select Mac OS Standard or ProDOS format for Memory
Stick.
2) This unit does not have the auto-eject mechanism. When ejecting a Memory Stick, do
un-mount operation and then pull out a Memory Stick from the MSR by hand.
3) It is impossible to start-up (booting) Mac OS from Memory Stick.
4) If you plug the USB MSR into USB hub, you have to use self-powered hub that includes
an AC adapter. MSR needs 200mA of electric power supply from the USB port. The bus-
powered hub without AC adapter may not work because of the shortage of electric
power.
5) Don’t connect MSR to the USB port on the keyboard.
6) Reset your Macintosh, if your Macintosh freezes or hung up.
