Removing a memory card
Memory card care
1. Do not write to a memory card if the battery power is low. Low power
could affect writing accuracy.
2. Do not remove a memory card while read/write is in progress.
3. The memory card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way.
Do not try to force the card into the slot.
4. Do not leave a memory card partially inserted in the slot. Press the
memory card until you hear it click into place.
■ Make sure the memory card indicator is out before you remove the
card or turn off the computer's power. If you remove the card or turn off
the power while the computer is accessing the card, you may lose data
or damage the card.
■ Do not remove the card while the computer is in Sleep or Hibernation
mode. The computer could become unstable or data in the memory
card could be lost.
■ Do not turn off or put the computer into either Sleep Mode or
Hibernation Mode while data is being transferred to or from the
memory card. The system may become unstable or data in the
memory card may be lost.
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to
record data.
