Using the write-protect sticker
A write-protect sticker is supplied with the memory card
(SmartMedia).
This sticker should be used to prevent data already on the
memory card from being erased, and to prevent new data
from being written to the memory card.
It is recommended that you affix this sticker to any memory
card (SmartMedia) that contains valuable data that you do
not want erased by mistake.

In order for a memory card to be formatted or be able to store
new data, it must not have a write-protect sticker affixed to
it. If a write-protect sticker is affixed to the write protect area
on the memory card, the memory card cannot be formatted,
nor can any new data be stored on it.
If you try to format or write data to a memory card with a
write-protect sticker affixed to it, “Protected!” appears in the
display.
