MultiMediaCard
Improper handling of the MultiMediaCard may
cause damage to the card or images on the
card. Follow the instructions below for correct
use.
Watch out for static electricity
• Do not let dirt or other foreign matter accumu-
late on the card contacts, or touch them with
your fingers, or rub or scrape them. Static
electricity may damage (erase) data on the
card. Clean the card by wiping it gently with a
soft, dry cloth.
• Carry and store the card in its original plastic
case to protect it from dirt, grime and static
electricity. (The polyethylene case is anti-
static.)
Contacts
• This is the part of the card that
makes contact with other equip-
ment. Do not touch with your
fingers, scratch, smudge or
damage in any way.
Label
• Do not peel off the label or paste
any paper, tape, or other material
over it.
Precautions on handling
MultiMediaCards
• Be sure to insert the card in the correct
direction. Do not try to force the card in.
• The card is a precision component. Do not
disassemble or modify it in any way. Take
care not to bend it, subject it to severe shock,
drop it, or allow it to get wet.
• Do not put the card in your pocket or other
unprotected location as it may break due to
pressure applied when you sit.
• Do not expose the card to excessive heat or
fire.
Do not use or store the MultiMediaCard
in the following kinds of environment:
• Locations subject to electrical noise or
powerful magnetic fields. Data on the card
may be destroyed (erased).
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to high temperature or high
humidity.
• Locations where dust gathers in large
amounts or blows through the air.
• Corrosive environments.
• Sunlit or enclosed spaces and other such
locations subject to high temperature.
Watch out for condensation
• Moisture (condensation) may form inside and
outside the card if it is carried into an area
subject to sudden, large changes in tempera-
ture. Watch out for condensation, because it
can cause malfunctions.
• When moisture condenses on the card, leave
it at the prevailing temperature until the water
evaporates naturally.
Your image data
• It is best to copy your valuable image data
from the card onto some other medium
(personal computer, floppy disk, MO disk,
etc.) and make a backup.
Malfunction, repair, and so on can cause the
recorded images to disappear from the card.
• Make absolutely sure not to remove the card
or turn the camcorder power off while the
card is recording data, erasing data, or
formatting (initializing). This can cause loss of
data and damage the card.
• Initializing the card will erase the data on it.
Make sure no important image data is
recorded on the card before you initialize it.
• Please be aware that Sharp Corporation will
not be liable for any damages resulting from
loss of data caused by incorrect handling of
the card by you or a third party, or caused by
exposure to static electricity or electrical
noise or by malfunction.
