However, there aren't many smartphones that have an "infrared communication" function these days, so it is better to use an "SD card" that is compatible with the "Anshin Backup" app.
Purchase a microSD card!
The SD card used for data transfer must be purchased separately. Also, you can actually use "microSD card", so if you only have "SD card", you need to purchase a new one.

If you buy a microSD card to back up from your phone, there are things you should be aware of.
How many GB of SD card can the Garake you use support? That's the point.
For example, if Garakei only supports up to 4GB, SD cards such as 8GB will not be read.
For older models, the maximum capacity may be 2GB. In many cases, you have to go to a large electronics retail store to find them, so be sure to check them out before purchasing.

- Garake: Open the "Menu" of the "Phonebook".
- A menu such as "Phonebook backup" and "Save" will be displayed, so select "SD card" as the save destination. * Depending on the model, it may be displayed as "Export to SD card".
