Inserting the Card into Your Device:
- For smartphones and tablets: Insert the microSD card directly into the device's microSD card slot. Refer to your device's manual for exact slot location.
- For cameras, laptops, or other devices with a standard SD card slot: Insert the microSD card (within its adapter) into the device's SD card slot.
Initial Formatting (if required):
Some devices may require the memory card to be formatted before first use. If your device does not recognize the card, or if you experience issues with storage capacity, formatting may be necessary. Note that formatting will erase all data on the card.
- For most devices, formatting can be done through the device's settings menu (e.g., Storage settings on Android, or camera settings).
- For computer use, if Windows does not format large capacity cards to FAT32, third-party formatting tools may be required if FAT32 is specifically needed for your device.
3. Operating the SanDisk Ultra Card
Data Storage and Transfer:
- The card provides 64GB of storage for photos, videos, music, and other files.
- Achieve transfer speeds of up to 80 MB/s when moving files between the card and a compatible device, such as a PC.
Full HD Video Recording:
With a Class 10 speed rating, the SanDisk Ultra card is optimized for capturing and playing back Full HD (1080p) video without dropped frames.
SanDisk Memory Zone App:
For Android users, the SanDisk Memory Zone app (available on the Google Play store) simplifies file management. It allows you to view, access, and back up files from your phone's internal memory to the card. The app can also be configured to automatically off-load files to maintain optimal phone performance.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliability of your SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, consider the following:
- Physical Protection: The card is designed to be water proof, temperature proof, shock proof, X-ray proof, and magnet proof. However, avoid unnecessary exposure to extreme conditions or physical stress.
- Temperature Range: The card operates effectively within temperatures of -13ºF to 185ºF (-25ºC to 85ºC) and can be stored between -40ºF and 185ºF (-40ºC to 85ºC).
- Regular Backups: Periodically back up important data from your memory card to another storage device (e.g., computer hard drive, cloud storage). This practice helps prevent data loss in the rare event of card malfunction or damage.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Card Not Recognized:
- Ensure the card is fully and correctly inserted into the device or adapter.
- Try inserting the card into a different compatible device or card reader to rule out a device-specific issue.
- If the card is new or has been used in multiple devices, it may require formatting. Refer to the 'Initial Formatting' section under Setup.
- Incorrect Capacity Display:
- If your device displays a capacity significantly lower than 64GB (e.g., around 32GB), this could indicate a formatting issue or a potential card defect. Try reformatting the card.
- Ensure your device supports microSDXC cards (SDHC cards will not work in SD devices, and vice-versa for some older devices).
- Slow Transfer Speeds or Interrupted Transfers:
- Ensure your device and card reader support UHS-I speeds. Older devices may limit transfer rates.
- Avoid transferring a very large number of small files simultaneously, as this can reduce overall transfer speed.
- Check for any background processes on your computer or device that might be consuming resources.
- Data Corruption:
- Always safely eject the card from your device before removing it.
- If data corruption persists, the card may be faulty. Contact SanDisk support for assistance.
