Handling And Storage Precautions; Protecting Your Data - Panasonic RP-SMGT64GAK Operating Instructions Manual

Handling and storage precautions

≥ If a microSDXC card is used on devices supporting SDXC
memory cards, always fit it to the exclusive adaptor. Insert or
remove the microSDXC card together with the adaptor. Do not
leave the adaptor connected to the device. Otherwise, this may
cause a malfunction, or a device or data failure.
≥ This card is formatted to the SDXC memory card standard. If
reformatting is ever necessary, format it using SDXC
compatible equipment or SD formatting software compatible
with SDXC memory card. Formatting the card with any other
software will make the card non-standard and cause problems
with compatibility and performance. For a free version of SD
formatting software, visit Panasonic's homepage.

Protecting your data

≥ While data is being read or written, do not remove the card or
turn off any equipment using the card. Do not remove the
batteries from battery-operated equipment. These actions can
cause data to be destroyed.
≥ Make backup copies of your data wherever possible.
Panasonic will not accept responsibility for any data loss or loss
directly or indirectly caused by data loss.
Cautions about disposal or transferring
ownership of this card
≥ SDXC compatible equipment may contain the functions
"Format" and "Erase". However, in most cases all data on the
card will not be completely erased even after performing these
functions. When disposing or transferring ownership of the
card, we recommend using Panasonic formatting software
(http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html)
to completely erase all data from the card.
≥ When you dispose of the microSDXC memory card, destroy it
physically or erase all data completely and follow your local
rules of separation and disposal of waste.
