2. Insert the SD adapter into a device with a standard SD card slot (e.g., camera, laptop, card reader).
3. Ensure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD adapter is in the "unlocked" (up) position if you intend to write data to the card.

Operating

Storing Data

Once the microSDHC card is recognized by your device, you can use it to store various types of data, including photos, videos, music, and documents. The method for saving data to the card varies by device:

• Smartphones/Tablets: Many apps allow you to select the storage location (internal or external). You can also move existing files from internal storage to the microSDHC card via the device's file manager.
• Cameras: Set the camera's storage option to save photos and videos directly to the microSDHC card.
• Computers (via SD Adapter): The card will appear as a removable drive. You can drag and drop files to and from the card.

Transferring Data

To transfer data between the microSDHC card and a computer:

1. Insert the microSDHC card into the SD adapter, then insert the adapter into your computer's SD card slot or a USB card reader.
2. Open "My Computer" or "This PC" (Windows) or "Finder" (macOS) and locate the removable drive corresponding to the memory card.
3. Drag and drop files to copy them to or from the card.
4. Always safely eject the removable drive from your operating system before physically removing the card or adapter to prevent data corruption.

Maintenance

• Proper Removal: Always safely eject the memory card from your device or computer before physical removal to prevent data loss or corruption.
• Physical Protection: Store the microSDHC card in its protective case or the SD adapter when not in use to prevent damage to the contacts or card body.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, or strong magnetic fields. This card is noted as "Water Proof", but it is still advisable to avoid unnecessary exposure to liquids.
• Data Backup: Regularly back up important data from your memory card to another storage device (e.g., computer hard drive, cloud storage) to prevent permanent data loss.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the gold contacts with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or liquid cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Card Not Detected

• Reinsert Card: Remove the card and reinsert it firmly into the slot.

• Check SD Adapter Switch: If using the SD adapter, ensure the write-protect switch is in the unlocked position.

Data Transfer Errors

• File System Issues: If the card is new or has been used in multiple devices, it might require formatting. Note: Formatting will erase all data on the card.
• Safe Ejection: Always ensure the card is safely ejected from the computer or device before removal.

Slow Performance
