B Cautions when handling the cards

œThe cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to strong forces or shocks. Be especially careful with the Microdrive, for it is easily damaged by vibrations.

œAvoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle, near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations.

œAvoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.

œDo not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth.

œWhen not using the cards, put them back into their protective covers to protect them from damage due to static electricity.

œDo not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply forces.

œBefore using a new card, be sure to format it using the digital camera (see “FORMATTING A CARD” on page 35).

œWhen buying separately sold or commercially available products, carefully read the instructions and warnings that come with them.
