Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two
cards are installed, both can become hot even if only one is
used extensively. Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors
or instability in the PC Card operation.
Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for
lengthy periods of time.
