Handling Precautions for CF Cards
CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply
force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the CF card.
Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause
condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it
into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new
temperature.
If condensation forms on the CF card, store it at room temperature until the
water droplets have evaporated naturally.
Do not use or store CF cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
