Memory cards

To prevent damage to cards and data

Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.

Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.

Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet. When disposing of/transferring memory cards

If using the ‘format’ or ‘delete’ functions on your camera or computer, this only changed the file management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.

Battery

Store battery in battery carrying case after use.

Do not use if damaged or dented (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause faults).

The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800- 822-8837 for information.
