Attention

Never force the cards when inserting
them, or subject them to sharp blows.
• Avoid handling and storing SmartMedia
cards in a hot, damp environment.
• Do not touch the contact area (gold
electrodes) of the SmartMedia card with
bare hands. If a SmartMedia card gets dirty,
wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• SmartMedia cards may be vulnerable to
electrostatic data corruption. When carrying
a SmartMedia card, put it in its case.
Remember to back up data from SmartMedia
cards to a PC or other storage medium from
time to time (☞ P.47).
• Corrupted, lost, or erased data cannot be
restored.
