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.
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 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 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.
