• The above list does not guarantee the card’s perfor-
mance.
• 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-51A/E, even preformatted mi-
croSD cards for PCs or other uses.
NOTE:
• Read the instructions of the microSD card thorough-
ly before use.
• NEVER remove the microSD card, detach the bat-
tery 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 cor-
rupted or damage the card.
• NEVER drop, or apply vibration or impact to the mi-
croSD card. This will cause the data to be corrupted
or damage the card.
• The microSD card will get warm if used continuously
for a long period of time.
• A microSD card has a certain lifetime, so data read-
ing or writing will not be possible when using it over
a long time period.

by data corruption of a microSD card.
