Memory card reader
Memory cards are used in a wide selection of digital cameras, PDAs,
MP3 players and mobile phones.
Inserting a memory card
1. Align the card so that the connector points towards the port, with the
connectors facing down.
2. Carefully slide the card into the port. If you find you need to use any
force to insert the card, try reorientating the card slightly.
3. Push the card until it clicks into place. A few millimetres of the card
will extend from beyond the slot.
If the card contains some files, the
Windows Auto Play
window may
appear (this depends on the contents of the card) and ask you if you
wish to use a program to access the contents of the card. Select an
option here if it is appropriate, otherwise select
Cancel
. If the card
contains no files, or unknown files, a window will open showing the
contents of the card.
