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.
