About 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 tempera-
ture 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.
Do not use or store CF cards in the following
types of location.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high
temperatures

with defective seals. Do not use batteries with defec-
tive seals.
Never use batteries that look like this.
Batteries with all or part of the seal

up over the edge of the metal base.
