Setup
Follow these steps to prepare your memory card for use:
- Inserting the microSDHC Card into the SD Adapter:
Locate the small slot on the side of the SD adapter. Gently slide the Transcend microSDHC card into this slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the gold contacts on the microSDHC card face the same direction as the contacts inside the adapter slot.

- Inserting the Card (or Adapter with Card) into a Device:
Identify the memory card slot on your compatible device (e.g., camcorder, camera, computer card reader). Insert the microSDHC card directly (if your device has a microSD slot) or the SD adapter with the microSDHC card inserted (if your device has a standard SD slot) into the designated slot. Push gently until it is fully seated. Refer to your device's manual for specific instructions on memory card insertion.
- Initial Formatting (if required):
For optimal performance and compatibility, it is recommended to format the memory card using your device's internal formatting function before first use. This process erases all data on the card and prepares it for your specific device. Consult your device's user manual for instructions on how to format a memory card. Warning: Formatting will erase all data on the card. Ensure no important data is present before formatting.
Operating Instructions
Once the memory card is properly installed and formatted, it is ready for use:
- Data Storage: The card will automatically be recognized by your device as storage. You can now save photos, videos, and other data directly to the card.
- Recording: When used in a camcorder or camera, the card will store recorded footage or captured images. Ensure your device is set to save to the memory card.
- Data Transfer: To transfer data to a computer, you can either connect your device directly to the computer or remove the memory card (or adapter with card) and insert it into a compatible card reader connected to your computer.
- Capacity: The 64GB capacity provides ample space for a large number of files. Actual usable capacity may be slightly less due to system files and formatting.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care ensures the longevity and reliability of your memory card:
- Handling: Avoid touching the gold contacts on the memory card or adapter. Static electricity or dirt can damage the card.
- Insertion/Removal: Always ensure your device is powered off or safely eject the card through the device's operating system before removing it. Improper removal can lead to data corruption or card damage.
- Storage: Store the memory card and adapter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Use the provided protective casing (if any) when not in use.
- Waterproof Feature: This Transcend memory card features a waterproof design. While it offers protection against accidental water exposure, it is not recommended to intentionally submerge the card. Ensure the card is completely dry before inserting it into any electronic device.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the gold contacts with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your memory card, try the following solutions:
- 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 issue.
- Check if the SD adapter's "Lock" switch is in the unlocked position (if using the adapter).
- Reformat the card (Warning: This will erase all data).
- Data Transfer Issues / Slow Performance:
- Ensure your device or card reader supports the card's speed class.
- Try transferring smaller batches of files.
- Ensure your computer's USB ports are functioning correctly.
- Avoid running multiple demanding applications during data transfer.
- Error Messages:
Refer to your device's user manual for specific error code explanations. Common errors often relate to formatting, card recognition, or insufficient space.
