SD Card Handling Precautions
z SD cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply
force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the SD card.
z 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.
z Do not peel away the original label on the SD card or cover it with another
label or sticker.
z When writing on the SD 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.
z Since some or all of the data recorded on the SD card may be corrupted or
erased by electrical noise, static electricity or card malfunction, making a
backup copy of important data is recommended.
z Moving an SD card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause
condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the SD card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it
into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new
temperature.
z If condensation forms on the SD card, store it at room temperature until the
water droplets have evaporated naturally.
z Do not use or store SD cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
