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.
