microSD Card
Once completely formatted, the card is automatically re-
㻊
mounted (reconnected for use by the device).
NOTE: The formatting procedure erases all the data on the microSD card, after
which the files CANNOT be retrieved. To prevent the loss of important data,
please check the contents before you format the card.
Connecting Your Device to Your Computer
Before using your device’s mass storage capabilities, you need
to prepare your device’s data services to synchronize with your
desktop or laptop computer. Once you have connected the
device to the computer, you can transfer your data to or from
the microSD card.
To connect your device to a computer via USB:
1. Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect
the phone to a USB port on your computer.
2. Open the Notifications panel, and then tap USB
connected.
3. Tap the Turn on USB storage button and OK in the dialog
box that opens to confirm that you want to transfer files.
When the device is connected as USB storage, you
㻊
receive a notification on your computer.
You device’s microSD card is mounted as a removable
㻊
drive on your computer. You can now copy files to and
from the microSD card. For more information, see the
documentation for your computer.
During this time, you will not be able to access the
㻊
microSD card in your device, so you can’t use applications
that rely on the microSD card, such as Camera, Gallery,
and Music.
