3. When finished, right-click the memory card drive icon on the Computer screen, click
Eject, and then remove the card.
Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, formatting, or deleting

notification area before removing the memory card.
Using the memory card reader
Digital cameras and other digital imaging devices use memory cards to store digital picture or
media files. The built-in memory card reader on the front panel of your system allows you to
read from and write to different memory card drives.
To use the memory card:
1.
Insert the memory card into the card slot.
2. Select a program from the AutoPlay window to access your files.
• On Windows ® 7, if AutoPlay is NOT enabled in your computer, click Windows ® 7 Start
button on the taskbar, click Computer, and then double-click the memory card icon to
access the data on it.
• On Windows ® 8, if AutoPlay is NOT enabled in your computer, hover your mouse pointer
over the lower left corner of Windows ® desktop then right-click on the Start screen’s
thumbnail. From the popup menu, click File Explorer, and then double-click the memory
card icon to access the data on it.
• Each card slot has its own drive icon which is displayed on the Computer screen.
• A memory card is keyed so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a card into a
slot to avoid damaging the card.
• You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media
independently. Place only one memory card in a slot at one time.
On Windows ® 8, hover your mouse pointer over the lower left corner of Windows ® desktop
then right-click on the Start screen’s thumbnail. From the popup menu, click File Explorer
to open the Computer screen.
