• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a
CF card.
• Moving a CF card rapidly between
temperature extremes will cause
condensation to form on the card and
may lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the CF card into 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 CF card, put
it aside until the water droplets have
evaporated completely.
• Place the CF card in the supplied case for
storage.
• Do not use or store CF cards in the
following types of location.
- Locations subject to strong magnetic
fields
- Locations subject to dust or sand
