24 Getting Started Guide
Using the Memory Card Reader
NOTE: CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted
incorrectly. Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.
For the two-slot reader, the Secure Digital (SD) card, the MultiMediaCard (MMC),
and the Memory Stick (MS or MS-Pro) cards must be inserted upside down (gold
connector fingers facing up). Note the direction of the notched corner on the
media.
1 Insert the media into the card slot until it stops. The in-use light (A) on the card
reader lights, and the PC automatically detects the media.
2 The PC opens a window so you can use the media contents. You can copy files
from or to the media.
3 When you are finished, right-click the drive icon, select Eject, check that the in-
use light is on but not blinking, and then remove the media. A steady light
indicates that the PC is not reading or writing the media.
WARNING: Do not try to remove media when the In-use light is
blinking. Doing so may cause loss of data.
