# Notes on Using microSD Memory Cards

- Keep away from children. Swallowing microSD memory cards is harmful.

- Do not touch the contacts with fingers or metal objects.

- Delicate electronic components are included in microSD memory cards. Do not subject cards to excessive force, bend or drop them.

- Do not disassemble or modify.

- Avoid moisture.

- Do not use or store in the following locations:

- Places with high temperature, such as inside an enclosed car in the sunshine

- Places exposed to direct sunlight

- Humid or corrosive environments

- Excessively dusty places

- Be sure to use microSD memory cards that are compliant with the standards supported by your tablet device. A wrong-size card may become jammed in the slot, causing damage to your tablet device.

- It is recommended that you make a backup copy of important data.

- To avoid losing stored data, keep microSD memory cards away from static electricity or electrical noise that may interfere with the card.

- When carrying microSD memory cards, be sure to put them in their case to avoid static electricity damage.

- Before using a microSD memory card with a device other than a tablet device, such as a digital camera or a portable audio, format (initialize) the microSD memory card using the device. Some devices may not support the file format for tablet devices and show you a message that recommends you to format the card. In this case, copy data from the card to your tablet device (or to other devices via the network) and format the card using the device. Note that formatting a card will delete all current data contained in it. For more details, refer to the manual of the device.

- Do not insert foreign objects into the microSD memory card slot.

- The microSD memory card slot can be used for reading/writing supported cards only, and it cannot be used for other purposes.

- Removing the microSD memory card while your tablet device is turned on may cause unexpected situations such as loss of data or rebooting of the tablet device.
