B Cautions when handling the CompactFlash
œ The CompactFlash card is a precision device. Do not bend, drop, or
subject it to strong forces or shocks.
œ Avoid using or storing the CompactFlash card in places with extremely high
or low temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed
vehicle, near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations.
œ Avoid using or storing the CompactFlash card in locations where strong
static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.
œ Do not allow the edges of the CompactFlash card to become contaminated
with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry
cloth.
œ When not using the CompactFlash card, put it back into the protective
cover to protect it from damage due to static electricity.
œ Do not carry the CompactFlash card inside trouser pockets, since it may
become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may
apply force.
œ Before using an unused card, make sure to format it using the digital
camera (see page 19).
œ When buying separately sold or commercially available products, carefully
read the instructions and warnings that come with them.
