5.3.2 PRECAUTIONS
Handling SD Cards
Observe the following precautions when handling SD cards:
Turn off the main power switch before you insert or remove an SD card. Data in the SD
card can be corrupted if you insert or remove an SD card while the main power switch
is on.
Do not turn off the main power switch during downloading.
Make sure that the write protection of an SD card is unlocked when you download an
application to it. If not, downloading fails and a download error (e.g. Error Code 44)
occurs during a firmware upgrade.
Keep SD cards in a safe location. Do not store SD cards in these locations:
1. Locations exposed to high temperature, high humidity, direct sunlight,
or strong vibration
2. Locations where there are effects from magnetic forces
Do not bend or scratch SD cards.
Do not drop SD cards or expose them to shock or vibration.
