## Notes on Using microSD Memory Cards

Before using microSD memory cards, read the following precautions for correct use.

- Keep a microSD memory card out of reach of children. There is a risk of swallowing it.

- Do not touch the microSD memory card connector with your finger or metal objects.

- A microSD memory card contains delicate electronic components. Do not impact, bend or drop it.

- Do not disassemble or modify a microSD memory card.

- Do not wet a microSD memory card.

- Do not use or store in a location subject to:

  - Extremely high temperature, such as in a car parked in the sun

  - Direct sunlight

  - High humidity or corrosive substances

  - Excessive dust

- Do not attempt to insert a memory card of a different type into the microSD memory card slot. Use of incompatible cards may cause damage to your VAIO computer.

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

- Stored data may be lost or corrupted if:

  - You remove a microSD memory card or turn off your VAIO computer while data is being read from or written to the microSD memory card.

  - You use a microSD memory card at a place where static electricity or electrical noise may disturb the card.

- When carrying a microSD memory card, be sure to put it in its case to avoid static electricity.

- Before using a microSD memory card with a device other than a computer, such as a mobile phone or a smartphone, format (initialize) the microSD memory card using the device.

  Some devices may not support the file format for computers and show you a message that recommends you to format the microSD memory card. In this case, copy data from the card to your VAIO computer and format the card using the device. All data in the microSD memory card will be deleted when you format it.

  Refer to the manual that came with the device for more information.

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

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

- microSD memory cards (up to 2 GB), microSDHC memory cards (up to 32 GB) and microSDXC memory cards (up to 64 GB) available as of May 2013 have been tested and found compatible with your VAIO computer. However, it is not guaranteed that all microSD memory cards, microSDHC memory cards or microSDXC memory cards will be compatible with the computer.

- Some types of microSD memory cards, for example ones with the UHS (Ultra High Speed data transfer feature), may become extremely hot due to continuous access to the memory cards. In such a case, wait for a while before removing the memory card until it cools down.
