Using the Memory card reader
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.
