Important Connection Information
▶To avoid loss of data, DO NOT remove the USB cable, the microSD card, or the battery while accessing or transferring data.
▶DO NOT use your computer to change or edit folder or file names on the microSD card and do not attempt to transfer large amounts of data from the computer to the microSD card. Doing so may cause the microSD card to fail.
▶DO NOT turn off or restart your computer, or put it into standby mode, while using a mass storage device. Doing so will result in loss or damage of data.
▶The microSD card can only be mounted for use by either the device or a connected computer. Prior to accessing the card via a different method, it must first be unmounted from its current device (phone or computer).
IMPORTANT The microSD card can only share a connection with one device at a time, either your phone or your computer (via its USB connection), not both. You cannot browse the contents of the card via your phone if they are currently being browsed via your computer.
