2.3. The Left Edge 

The left edge of the unit contains a long, thin, rectangular slot. 
This is the SD card slot. 
 

2.4. The Bottom Edge 

If  you  move  around  to  the  edge  nearest  your  body,  you  will 
discover  3  ports.  From  left  to  right  these  ports  are  the 
headphone  jack,  the  micro  USB  port,  and  the  stereo 
microphone  jack.  Use  the  headphone  jack  to  connect 
headphones  or  external  speakers  to  the  unit.  Use  the 
microphone  jack  to  connect  an  external  microphone  or  line-in 
recording  source  to  the  unit.  The  micro  USB  port  is  used  to 
connect the Blaze EZ to a PC for transferring files, to connect a 
thumb drive or CD-ROM drive to the unit, or to connect the AC 
adapter for charging the unit. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

2.5. The Back Face 

Flip the Blaze EZ over in your hand so that the SD card slot is 
now  on  the  right  side.  The  back  face  or  underside  of  the  unit 
contains 3 things. At the very top in the center are a couple of 
holes for connecting the lanyard   
Underneath the lanyard connection is the OCR camera. Below 
that  is  a  triangular  ridged  section.  If  you  press  down  and 
backward  on  this  section,  the  majority  of  the  back  of  the  unit 
slides away to reveal the battery compartment.
