Notes on using PC Cards
 For some PC Cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the Standby or Hibernate modes while
the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Reboot your system to
correct the problem.
 Some PC Cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC Card. You can use Sony Notebook
Setup to disable devices. See
To display the Sony Notebook Setup screen for more information.
 Make sure you use the most recent software driver provided by the PC Card manufacturer.
 If an exclamation mark (!) appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog box, remove the
software driver and then reinstall it.
 You may not be able to use some PC Cards or some functions of the PC Card with this computer. If you have
difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are orienting the card correctly. See the manual that came with your PC
Card for more information on its use.
