Inserting and Removing the FlashCard From the 
Lynx

There is nothing special about inserting the FlashCard. Simply push the Card into the 
cartridge slot gently but firmly, then turn on the Lynx.

Before removing the Card, make sure the Lynx is turned off.

While using the Lynx with the FlashCard, do not press the“Reset“ or “Anykey“ buttons on 
the Card.
