Cautions When Handling
zMemory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not
bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks
or vibration.
zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
zDo not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the
terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the
terminals with your hands or metal objects.
zDo not peel away the original label on the memory card or
cover it with another label or sticker.
zWhen writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or
ball-point pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen).
zDo not use or store memory cards in the following
locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
zSince some or all of the data recorded on the memory card
may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static
electricity or card malfunction, making a backup copy of
important data is recommended.
