Operating Instructions

The SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-I 32GB card is designed for high-performance data storage and retrieval.

Recording 4K UHD Video and Photos

• High-Speed Capture: This card supports UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 30 (V30), guaranteeing a minimum sustained write speed of 30MB/s. This is essential for smooth, uninterrupted 4K UHD video recording and rapid-fire sequential burst mode photography.
• Device Compatibility: Ensure your camera or video recorder is compatible with UHS-I SD cards and supports the required speed classes for your desired recording quality.
• Capacity Management: The 32GB capacity allows for a significant amount of high-resolution content. Monitor your device's storage indicator to avoid running out of space during critical moments.

Data Transfer

• Fast Offload: With read speeds up to 200MB/s (powered by SanDisk QuickFlow Technology), transferring large files from the card to your computer is efficient. Use a compatible UHS-I card reader to achieve maximum transfer speeds.
• Safe Removal: Always safely eject the SD card from your computer or device before physically removing it to prevent data corruption.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and performance of your SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card.

• Physical Handling:
  • Avoid touching the gold connector pins on the back of the card.
  • Store the card in its protective case when not in use to prevent dust, dirt, and static damage.
  • Do not bend or apply excessive force to the card.
• Write Protection Switch: The card features a small write-protection switch on its side. Slide it down to protect your data from accidental deletion or modification. Slide it up to enable writing.
• Formatting: Periodically reformatting the card (after backing up all data) can help maintain optimal performance and resolve minor data inconsistencies. Always format in the device you intend to use the card with.
• Environmental Protection: While the card is designed to be temperature-proof, waterproof, shockproof, and X-ray-proof, avoid exposing it to extreme conditions unnecessarily.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Card Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the card is fully inserted into the device's slot.
  • Check the write-protection switch; if it's in the locked position, the device may not be able to read or write to it.
  • Try inserting the card into another compatible device or card reader to determine if the issue is with the card or the original device.
  • Clean the gold connector pins gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Slow Performance/Errors During Recording:
  • Ensure your device supports UHS-I and the required speed classes (U3, V30) for your recording settings.
  • The card might be nearly full. Transfer data to a computer and format the card.
  • If using a card reader, ensure it is a high-speed USB 3.0 or newer reader for optimal transfer speeds.
  • Avoid using the card in extremely hot or cold environments, as this can affect performance.
• Cannot Delete or Format:
  • Verify the write-protection switch is in the unlocked position.
