caused from the loss of stored data.
• Formatting SD cards or deleting data using the
unit or formatting SD cards on a computer only
does not completely erase all data stored in SD
cards. When an SD card will no longer be used,
we recommend using commercially available
data deletion software for computers to com-
pletely erase all data in the SD card. Data inside
SD cards is managed at the responsibility of the
customer.
• SD cards are consumable products. We recom-
mend periodically replacing them with new ones
depending on how they are used.
• You may not be able to overwrite or delete data
on SD cards, even when used normally.
• As a rule, format your SD cards once a month.
• Do not place objects on top of SD cards, drop
them, or use force on them. Store them in a
clean, dry place with low humidity.
• The warranty does not cover equipment malfunc-
tions caused by SD cards.
