Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not
bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or
vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the
terminals on the back of the memory card. Do not touch the
terminals with your hands or metal objects.
Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or
cover it with another label or sticker.
When writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or ball-
point pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen).
Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card
may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static
electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a
backup copy of important data is recommended.
