You could expose the storage area to static electricity which can destroy data. Do not remove an SD card while data is being written or read. Even when the Windows® message “copying...” disappears, writing to the card might still be in progress and your data could be destroyed. Wait for the SD indicator light to go out. NOTE Do not use the Copy Disk function for this type of media. To copy data from one media to another, use the drag-and-drop feature of Windows® .
