Attention
Be sure to insert and remove the interface cable and PC
Card carefully. The connectors on the interface cable are
designed to be inserted in only one position; they cannot be
inserted upside down. If you try to insert the connectors
upside down, you might damage them. Make sure that the
pins on the cable connectors are aligned with the holes in
the interface connectors. If they are not aligned and you
force the connection, you might damage the connectors.
Also, if you use excessive force when inserting the PC
Card, you might damage the card or your computer.
