Formatting an SD/SDHC Card
SD/SDHC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to
specific standards. If you format the SD/SDHC Card again, be sure to
format it with the TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility, not with the
format command provided within Windows.
In order to run the TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility, click Start ->
All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> SD Memory Card Format.
Please note that the TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format utility does not
format the protected area of the SD/SDHC memory card - should you need
to format all areas of the memory card, including the protected area, you
will need to obtain an appropriate application that applies the copy
protection system.
Media care
Observe the following precautions when handling the card.
Card care

Do not twist or bend cards.

Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media
close to containers of liquid.
■
Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get
dirty.
■
After using card, return it to its case.
■
The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not try
to force the card into the slot.
■
Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until you
hear it click into place.
Memory card care
■
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to
record data.
■
Memory cards have a limited lifespan, so it is important to backup
important data.
■
Do not write to a card if the battery power is low. Low power could affect
writing accuracy.
■
Do not remove a card while read/write is in progress.
