About CF Cards
•CF cards are high-precision electronic
devices. Do not bend, apply force to, or
subject them to shocks or vibration.
•Do not attempt to disassemble or alter
a CF card.
•Moving a CF card rapidly between
temperature extremes will cause
condensation to form in the card and
may lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the CF card into 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, put it aside until the water
droplets have evaporated completely.
•Place the CF card in the supplied case
for storage.
•Do not use or store CF cards in the
following types of location.
- Locations subject to strong magnetic
fields
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and
high temperatures
