1. Introduction
This user manual provides essential information for the proper use and care of your NUM'AXES 32 GB Micro SD Card with Adaptor. This high-capacity, Class 10 memory solution is designed for reliable data storage and transfer, particularly compatible with NUM'AXES trail cameras (SL1008, PIE 1009, PIE 1010) and Night Vision devices (VIS 1012), as well as other compatible devices requiring Micro SDHC storage.
2. Product Overview

The NUM'AXES 32 GB Micro SD Card is a compact, high-speed memory card. It comes with a standard SD card adaptor, allowing for versatile use across various devices. Key features include:
- Capacity: 32GB for ample storage of photos, videos, and other data.
- Class 10: Ensures fast data transfer speeds, suitable for Full HD video recording and high-resolution photography.
- Included Adaptor: Converts the Micro SD card to a standard SD card size for compatibility with a wider range of devices.
3. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Micro SD card for use:
- Insert Micro SD Card into Adaptor (Optional): If your device uses a standard SD card slot, gently slide the 32 GB Micro SD card into the designated slot on the included SD adaptor until it clicks into place. Ensure the gold contacts on the Micro SD card face downwards when inserting into the adaptor.
- Insert into Device: Locate the memory card slot on your compatible device (e.g., trail camera, night vision device, smartphone, tablet, computer). Insert the Micro SD card (or the Micro SD card within the adaptor) into the slot. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation, usually with the gold contacts facing into the device. Do not force the card.
- Initial Recognition: Upon first insertion, your device may prompt you to format the card. It is recommended to format the card using the device it will primarily be used with to ensure optimal compatibility and performance. Note: Formatting will erase all data on the card.
4. Operating
Once the Micro SD card is set up, you can begin using it for data storage:
- Saving Data: When using the card with a camera or other recording device, ensure the device is configured to save files to the external memory card. Refer to your device's manual for specific instructions.
- Transferring Data: To transfer data to or from the card, insert it into a compatible card reader connected to a computer. The card will appear as a removable drive. You can then drag and drop files or use your operating system's file management tools.
- Safe Removal: Always safely eject the memory card from your computer or device before physically removing it. This prevents data corruption and ensures the longevity of the card. For computers, use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option. For other devices, power off the device before removal if a safe eject option is not available.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Micro SD card:
- Physical Care: Handle the card and adaptor by their edges. Avoid touching the gold contacts, as oils and dirt can interfere with connectivity.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the gold contacts with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the card in its protective case or a secure slot when not in use to prevent damage from dust, moisture, and static electricity. Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or strong magnetic fields.
- Data Backup: Regularly back up important data from your Micro SD card to another storage device (e.g., computer hard drive, cloud storage) to prevent data loss.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Micro SD card, consider the following:
- Card Not Recognized:
- Ensure the card is fully and correctly inserted into the device or adaptor.
- Try inserting the card into a different compatible device or card reader to determine if the issue is with the card or the device.
- Check if the write-protect switch on the SD adaptor is in the 'unlocked' position.
- Restart the device or computer.
- Data Transfer Errors / Slow Performance:
- Ensure the card is not full. Delete unnecessary files or transfer them to another storage location.
- Reformat the card (after backing up all data) if it becomes corrupted or experiences persistent errors.
- Ensure your card reader or device supports Class 10 speeds.
- Files Missing or Corrupted:
- Avoid removing the card during data transfer or when the device is actively writing to it.
- Use data recovery software (third-party) as a last resort, though success is not guaranteed.
