Precautions on using cards.
Please note that not all cards have been tested and verified to work
correctly. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee that all cards will
operate properly.
Keep foreign objects out of the Bridge media slot. Never allow metal
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the PC or
keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can
cause PC damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
SD memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative),
which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or playback of
digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback protected
material on another computer or other device. You may not use the
reproduction of any copyrighted material except for your personal
