For my U5, I had to try out several cards: Don't believe what the manual 
says or
whats written in the specs - simply try it. Some cards didn't show up, 
some even stop
the system and some don't work reliably. In Germany, You have a 2-4 week 
money
back guarantee when returning stuff that was ordered online. Don't know 
how it's
handled in Your country, though ...
