SD card care
Do not write to an SD card if the battery power is low. Low power could 
affect writing accuracy.
Do not remove an SD card while read/write is in progress.
The SD card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not 
try to force the SD card into the SD card slot.
Do not leave an SD card partially inserted in the slot. Press the SD card 
until you hear it click into place.
Do not twist or bend SD cards.
Do not expose SD cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media 
close to containers of liquid.
After using an SD card, return it to its case.
Do not touch the metal part or expose it to liquids or let it get dirty.
Creation of a boot disk
Within the TOSHIBA SD Memory Boot Utility, a bootable SD memory card 
can be created if required. Refer to the 
 of Chapter 1, Introduction 
for details.
Memory expansion
You can install additional memory in the computer’s memory module slot to 
increase the amount of RAM. This section describes how to install and 
remove a memory module.
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to record 
data. 
Place a mat beneath the computer to prevent scratching or damaging 
the computer's lid when installing/replacing the memory module. Avoid 
mats made of materials that generate static electricity.
When you install or remove a memory module, ensure that you do not 
touch any other internal areas of the computer.
