Maintaining PC Cards

To maintain your PC Cards, follow these guidelines:

Do not drop, bend, flex, or crush cards when handling.
•
Keep dust, magnets, and static electricity away from PC Cards.
•
When a card is not in use, carry it in its protective carrying case.

careful not to bend or put excessive strain on these cables.

Using PC Cards

To insert a PC Card into a slot:
1. If a dummy card is in place, push the eject button once to pop it outward, then push
the eject button again to eject the dummy card.
2. If the eject button is still projecting out, push it firmly in to lock in place. It will
protect the eject button from damage.
