Memory card care
1. Do not write to a memory card if the battery power is low. Low power 
could affect writing accuracy.
2. Do not remove a memory card while read/write is in progress.
3. The memory card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. 
Do not try to force the card into the slot.
4. Do not leave a memory card partially inserted in the slot. Press the 
memory card until you hear it click into place.
5. Do not twist or bend memory cards.
6. Do not expose memory cards to liquids, store in humid areas or place 
memory cards close to containers of liquid.
7. After using a memory card, return it to its case.
8. Do not touch the metal parts of the memory card, expose it to liquids or 
allow it to get dirty.
Make sure the memory card indicator is out before you remove the 
card or turn off the computer's power. If you remove the card or turn off 
the power while the computer is accessing the card, you may lose data 
or damage the card.
Do not remove the card while the computer is in Sleep or Hibernation 
mode. The computer could become unstable or data in the memory 
card could be lost.
Do not turn off or put the computer into either Sleep Mode or 
Hibernation Mode while data is being transferred to or from the memory 
card. The system may become unstable or data in the memory card 
may be lost.
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to record 
data.
