3.2 Transferring Data

To transfer files from your SDXC card to a computer or other storage device:

1. Safely Remove Card: Power off your device or use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option if your device supports it, then eject the SDXC card.
2. Insert into Reader: Insert the SDXC card into a compatible card reader connected to your computer. For optimal transfer speeds, use a USB 3.0 card reader.

4. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and reliability of your Lexar Professional 633x SDXC card.

• Handle with Care: Avoid bending, dropping, or subjecting the card to excessive force.
• Protect Contacts: Do not touch the gold connector pins. If necessary, gently clean them with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Storage: Store the card in its protective case when not in use to prevent dust, dirt, and static damage.
• Environmental Conditions: The card is designed to be temperature-proof, water-proof, and X-ray proof. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme conditions beyond its operating specifications.
• Formatting: Periodically formatting the card (after backing up all data) can help maintain performance and resolve minor file system issues. Always format the card within the device it will be used in.
• Write Protection Switch: The small switch on the side of the SD card is a write-protection lock. Slide it down to protect data from being accidentally erased or overwritten. Slide it up to enable writing. Ensure it is in the "up" position for normal operation.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Lexar Professional 633x SDXC card, consider the following common solutions:

• Card Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the card is fully inserted into the device or card reader.
  • Check the write-protection switch; if it's in the locked position, the device may not recognize it or allow writing.
  • Try the card in another compatible device or card reader to rule out a device-specific issue.
  • Clean the gold connector pins gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Slow Performance / Errors During Recording:
  • Ensure your device supports UHS-I speeds. Older devices may not fully utilize the card's speed.
  • Format the card using your device's internal formatting function. (Warning: This will erase all data. Back up first.)
  • Verify that the card is not nearly full. Performance can degrade when storage is almost exhausted.
• Data Corruption:
  • Always safely eject the card from your computer or device before removal.
  • Avoid removing the card during data transfer or while the device is writing to it.
  • If data corruption persists, the card may be faulty. Contact Lexar support for assistance.
