* Through the rest of this document, the microSD card and a
microSDHC card are simply called microSD cards.
* Icom recommends that you format all microSD cards to be
used with the ID-31A/E, even preformatted microSD cards
for PCs or other uses.
NOTE:
• Read the instructions of the microSD card thor-
oughly before use.
• NEVER remove the microSD card, detach the
battery pack/case, or power OFF the transceiver,
while reading or writing data to or from the microSD
card, or during cloning. It will cause the data to be
corrupted or damage the card.
• NEVER drop, or apply vibration or impact to the
microSD card. This will cause the data to be cor-
rupted or damage the card.
• The microSD card will get warm if used continu-
ously for a long period of time.
• A microSD card has a certain lifetime, so data
reading or writing will not be possible when using
it over a long time period.
• Icom will not be responsible for any damage caused
by data corruption of a microSD card.
The microSD and microSDHC cards are not available
from Icom. Purchase locally.
