NOTE: CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted
incorrectly. Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.
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 done, 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.
