• The above list does not guarantee the card’s perfor
-
mance.
• Throughout the rest of this document, the SD card
and an SDHC card are simply called SD cards or the
card.
• Icom recommends that you format all SD cards to be
used with the transceiver, even preformatted cards
for PCs or other uses.
(p. 10-8)
Saving the transceiver’s factory default data is rec-
ommended.
(p. 10-5)
NOTE:
• Before using the SD card, thoroughly read the card’s
instructions.
• If you do any of the following, the card data may be
corrupted or deleted.
- A power failure occurs or the AC power cable is
disconnected from an AC receptacle while access-
ing the card.
- You turn OFF the internal power supply while ac-
cessing the card.
- You remove the card from the transceiver while ac-
cessing the card.
- You drop, impact or vibrate the card.
• Do not touch the contacts of the card.
• The transceiver takes a longer time to recognize a
high capacity card.
• The card will get warm if used continuously for a
long period of time.
• The card has a certain lifetime, so data reading or
writing may not be possible after using it for a long
time period.
• When reading or writing data is impossible, the
card’s lifetime has ended. In this case, purchase a
new one. We recommend you make a backup file of
the important data onto your PC.
• Icom will not be responsible for any damage caused
by data corruption of an card.
