Care and handling of SD cards
Handle the cards carefully; rough handling can damage the card and destroy its
contents.
Make sure the cover is closed at all times. Insert the card fully or remove the
card; the cover cannot be closed if the card is inserted partially.
Remove a card with only your fingers. Do not use metal instruments (like tweezers)
to remove the card.
Do not remove a card during the reading of the card or writing to the card, to prevent
damage to the card and loss of the data stored on the card.
If water is at the bottom of the cover, DO NOT open the cover. Remove the water
with a dry cloth completely and then open the cover.
