B Cautions when handling the CompactFlash
œThe CompactFlash card is a precision device. Do not bend, drop, or subject it to strong forces or shocks.
œAvoid using or storing the CompactFlash card 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 CompactFlash card in locations where strong static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.
œDo not allow the edges of the CompactFlash card to become contaminated with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth.
œWhen not using the CompactFlash card, put it back into the protective cover to protect it from damage due to static electricity.
œDo not carry the CompactFlash card inside trouser pockets, since it may become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply force.
œBefore using an unused card, make sure to format it using the digital camera (see page 19).
œWhen buying separately sold or commercially available products, carefully read the instructions and warnings that come with them.
