CAPACITY CALCULATION
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes Using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB=230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system.
RoHS Compatible. This product is compatible with Euro- pean Union Directive 2002/95/EC, Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (RoHS), which restricts use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
