Memory Card Handling Precautions
zMemory cards are high-precision electronic
devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them,
or subject them to shocks or vibration.
zDo not attempt to disassemble or alter the
memory card.
zDo not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to
contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do
not touch the terminals with your hands or metal
objects.
zDo not peel away the original label on the
memory card or cover it with another label or
sticker.
zWhen writing on the memory card, use a soft
point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point
pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may damage
the memory card or corrupt the recorded data.
zSince some or all of the data recorded on the
memory card may be corrupted or erased by
electrical noise, static electricity or card
malfunction, making a backup copy of important
data is recommended.
zMoving a memory card rapidly between
temperature extremes will cause condensation to
form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To
avoid condensation, place the memory card in a
sealed plastic bag before moving it into a
different temperature zone and allow it to adjust
slowly to the new temperature.
zIf condensation forms on the memory card, store
it at room temperature until the water droplets
have evaporated naturally.
zDo not use or store memory cards in the
following locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high
temperatures
