Stopping or removing the SD card after formatting
If you have formatted the SD card drive with the Windows
®
operating system format (see Formatting an SD Card in the
preceding section), you may be unable to stop or eject your
card. If this occurs, try restarting the computer.
Using Standby or Hibernate while using the SD card
It is recommended that you do not select Standby or
Hibernation mode while an SD card is in use. If you do so,
your system may not enter Standby or Hibernation mode,
some tasks may become unresponsive, and the operating
system may not shut down properly. If this occurs, reset your
computer by sliding the power switch to the right and holding
it for at least four seconds.
Removing an SD card
Before removing an SD card from the SD slot, close any
applications that utilize the SD card. Use the eject utility to
ensure that the card is ready to be removed. Once the activity
indicator light has turned off, you may safely remove the
card.
To remove an SD card:
1 Gently press the card inward to release it.
The card pops out slightly.
2 Grasp the card and pull it straight out.
