New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish 

to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media 

cards.

SD/SDHC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to 

specific standards. If you reformat an SD/SDHC memory card, be sure to 

reformat it with a device such as digital camera or digital audio player that 

uses the SD/SDHC memory cards, not with the format command provided 

within Windows.

Observe the following precautions when handling the card.

■

Do not twist or bend cards.

■

Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media 

close to containers of liquid.

■

Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get 

dirty.

■

After using card, return it to its case.

■

The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not try 

to force the card into the slot.

■

Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until you 

hear it click into place.

■

Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to 

record data.

■

Memory cards have a limited lifespan, so it is important to backup 

important data.

■

Do not write to a card if the battery power is low. Low power could affect 

writing accuracy.

■

Do not remove a card while read/write is in progress.
