.
2. Push the Eject button until it pops out, and then

remove the card.
SMART CARD READER
An embedded Smart Card Reader is provided on your
LifeBook notebook. Smart Cards are the same size and
shape as credit cards, but they contain an integrated
microprocessor chip. The chip can hold a variety of
information, and provides the user with many possible
options, such as allowing them to make secure
purchases, pay for phone calls, store security informa-
tion, and provide identification and information.
In order to use the embedded Smart Card Reader, you
must purchase an optional Smart Card holder for inser-
tion into an available Type II PC Card slot.

■ Inserting or removing a PC Card during
your notebook’s shutdown or bootup
process may damage the card and/or
your notebook.
■
Do not insert a PC Card into a slot if
there is water or any other substance on
the card as you may permanently dam-
age the card, your notebook, or both.
Windows has a shutdown procedure for
PC Cards that must be followed before
removing a card. (Review your operating
system manual for the correct procedure).
It is good practice to remove devices using
the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the
system tray.
If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open
applications and shut down your LifeBook.
If the PC Card has an external connector
and cable, do not pull the cable when
removing the card.
