Caring for Your BlueChart g2 Data Card
BlueChart g2 cards are not waterproof. When you are not using the card, keep it in the original
packaging for safekeeping, and store it away from exposure to sun and rain. BlueChart g2
cards are susceptible to damage from static electricity. In low humidity environments, you
should ground yourself on a large metal object before handling the card. The card packaging is
sealed and does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
