Using a Memory Card, Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone

Page 120 highlights

Using a Memory Card Your i580 phone comes with a memory card, memory card adapter, and memory card reader*. A memory card is a removable flash memory card that you can use to store pictures, videos, and audio files. The memory card can be inserted in your phone or connected to your computer using the memory card reader. When the memory card is in your phone, many types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on the memory card can be viewed or played using your phone's media center. MP3 audio files stored on the memory card can be played using your phone's audio player. A memory card reader connects to your computer's USB port and lets you access the memory card from your computer. This lets you save files from your computer to your memory card or save files from your memory card to your computer. The memory card adapter makes the memory card compatible with the memory card reader. * Depending on your service provider, the memory card, memory card adapter, and memory card reader may not be include with your phone. Your i580 phone can be used with a Transflash or MicroSD memory card. Ensuring Files on the Memory Card Are Compatible With Your Phone When your memory card is connected to your computer, your computer lets you save files to your memory card in ways that may not allow you to access these files when the memory card is in your i580 phone. To ensure the files on your memory card are compatible with your i580 phone, use the folder structure, file name rules, and formats described in the following sections. Folder Structure The first time you insert the memory card into your phone, three folders are created: Audio, Images, and Video. In order to access files stored on the memory card, you must store the given file in its corresponding format folder: audio files to the Audio folder, pictures to the Images folder, and videos to the Video folder. Because your phone creates these folders the first time the memory card is inserted, you should insert the memory card into your phone at least once before using it with your computer. 106

Using a Memory Card
Your
i
580 phone comes with a memory card,
memory card adapter, and memory card reader*.
A memory card is a removable flash memory card
that you can use to store pictures, videos, and
audio files. The memory card can be inserted in
your phone or connected to your computer using
the memory card reader.
When the memory card is in your phone, many
types of pictures, videos, and audio files stored on
the memory card can be viewed or played using
your phone's media center. MP3 audio files stored
on the memory card can be played using your
phone's audio player.
A memory card reader connects to your
computer’s USB port and lets you access the
memory card from your computer. This lets you
save files from your computer to your memory card
or save files from your memory card to your
computer.
The memory card adapter makes the memory card
compatible with the memory card reader.
*
Depending on your service provider, the memory card, memory
card adapter, and memory card reader may not be include with
your phone. Your i580 phone can be used with a Transflash or
MicroSD memory card.
Ensuring Files on the Memory
Card Are Compatible With
Your Phone
When your memory card is connected to your
computer, your computer lets you save files to your
memory card in ways that may not allow you to
access these files when the memory card is in your
i
580 phone.
To ensure the files on your memory card are
compatible with your
i
580 phone, use the folder
structure, file name rules, and formats described in
the following sections.
Folder Structure
The first time you insert the memory card into your
phone, three folders are created: Audio, Images,
and Video. In order to access files stored on the
memory card, you must store the given file in its
corresponding format folder: audio files to the
Audio folder, pictures to the Images folder, and
videos to the Video folder.
Because your phone creates these folders the first
time the memory card is inserted, you should insert
the memory card into your phone at least once
before using it with your computer.
