Write Protection Switch

The Transcend SDHC card features a small write-protection switch on its side. Sliding this switch to the "Lock" position prevents new data from being written to the card and existing data from being deleted. To write or delete data, ensure the switch is in the "Unlock" position.

Maintenance

• Keep Clean: Do not touch the gold contacts. If necessary, gently clean them with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Temperature and Humidity: Store the card in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.
• Safe Removal: Always safely eject the memory card from your computer or device before physically removing it to prevent data corruption.
• Regular Backups: Regularly back up important data from your memory card to another storage device to prevent data loss.

Troubleshooting

Card Not Recognized

• Ensure your device's firmware is up to date.

Data Corruption or Errors

• Always safely eject the card before removal.
