MEMORY CARD CARE AND HANDLING

Memory Cards are manufactured with precision electronic components. The following may cause data loss or damage:

ïImproper use of the card.

ïBending, dropping, or subjecting the card to impact.

ïHeat, moisture, and direct sunlight.

ïStatic electrical discharge or electromagnetic fields near the card.

ïRemoving the card or interrupting the power supply while the camera or a computer is accessing the card (reading, writing, formatting, etc.).

ïTouching the electrical contacts of the card with your fingers or metal objects.

ïUsing the card beyond its life. Purchasing a new card periodically may be necessary.

ïWhen using a Microdrive, do not subject the camera to vibrations.

Konica Minolta has no responsibility for any loss or damage to data. It is recommended that a copy of the card data be made.

BATTERIES

ïBattery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm up.

ïDo not store the battery when it is fully charged.

ïWhen storing the battery for extended periods, recharge it for five minutes every six months. The battery may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted.

ïA special built-in battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera battery is exhausted or removed. If the camera resets each time the battery is replaced, the built-in battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Konica Minolta service facility.

ïKeep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dirty contacts can prevent charging. If the contacts become dirty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
