Memory Card Handling Precautions
Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend
them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Do 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.
Do not peel away the original label on the SD card or cover it with
another label or sticker.
When 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 SD card or corrupt the recorded data.
Since 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.
Moving 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.
If condensation forms on the memory card, store it at room
temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.
Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
