Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Using the Memory card reader
When inserting memory media, do not touch the metal contacts. You
could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy
data.
Always remove memory media when not in use.
Removing memory media
1 If you are not currently on the Desktop, choose the Desktop
tile on the Start screen, otherwise skip to step 2.
2 Prepare the card for removal by clicking on or touching the
Show hidden icons button ( ), if necessary, in the notification
area and then selecting the Safely Remove Hardware and
Eject Media icon.
3 Highlight, and then click or touch the item you would like to
eject.
If the system is unable to prepare the media for safe removal, a
message will tell you to try again later. If the media can be
removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware.
If the computer has a spring-loaded adapter slot, see step 4;
otherwise, skip to step 5.
4 Gently press the card inward to release it.
The card pops out slightly.
5 Grasp the card and pull it straight out.
(Sample Illustration) Removing memory media
Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.
Even when the Windows
®
message “copying...” disappears, writing
to the media might still be in progress and your data could be
destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.
