Handling Precautions for SD Cards

￿SD 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 SD card.

￿Do 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.

￿Do not peel away the original label on the SD card or cover it with another label or sticker.

￿When writing on the SD card, use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may damage the SD card or corrupt the recorded data.

￿Since some or all of the data recorded on the SD card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity or card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended.

￿Moving an SD card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid condensation, place the SD 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 SD card, store it at room temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.

￿Do not use or store SD cards in the following types of locations.

-Locations subject to dust or sand

-Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
