G Memory Card Handling Precautions
Handling and Storing Memory Cards
• Data stored in the memory cards can become
lost or damaged by static electricity. Before
touching a memory card, it is advisable to
touch a metal object (doorknob, aluminum
window frame, etc.) to discharge your body
before handling the card.
• When the memory cards is not to be used for
an extended period of time, remove it from
the slot and keep it in a clean, dry place. Es-
pecially when using battery power, battery life
will be shortened.
• Do not expose the memory cards to direct
sunlight, high temperatures (inside a car dur-
ing the daytime, close to a heating appliance,
etc.), or excessively low temperatures.
• Do not drop, place heavy objects on, or bend
the memory card.
• Avoid touching the memory card's electrical
contacts (the gold section on the top surface)
or allow metal objects to come into contact
with the card's contacts.
• Do not place the memory cards close to any-
thing that has a strong magnetic field (televi-
sions, loudspeakers, etc.).
• Do not attach anything other than the ap-
proved labels (memo, etc.) to the memory
cards. Make sure labels are securely applied
to the proper spaces.

Protecting Your Data from Accidental Erasure
To protect important data from being acciden-
tally erased, the memory cards can be write-
protected by attaching the supplied write-pro-
tect seal on the circular area just below the card's
contacts.
To save data to a memory card that is write-
protected, remove the write-protect seal from
the memory card. Never reuse a write-protect
seal once it has been removed.
Back Up Your Data
To protect your data from the worst that could
happen, we recommend that you back up all of
your important data to a computer.
