Handling Precautions for CF Cards
• CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them,
apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
• Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause
condensation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid
condensation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving
it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the
new temperature. If condensation forms on the CF card, store it at
room temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.
• Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.
• Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of location.
- Location subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
