Using Your VAIO Computer
!
Insert the PC Card slot protector to protect against debris entering the slot when not using a PC Card. Before moving your computer, make sure to
insert the PC Card slot protector into the slot.
✍
Some devices may not function properly if you continually switch to Normal mode from Standby mode or Hibernate mode. For some PC Cards, if you
alternate between Normal mode and Standby or Hibernate mode while the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not
recognized. Restart your system to correct the problem. Restarting will restore the original state of your computer.
While the card is inserted, your computer may not enter Hibernate power management mode. It may enter Standby mode. We recommend that you
remove the card before the computer enters Hibernate mode.
Make sure you use the most recent software driver provided by the PC Card manufacturer.
If an "!" mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties window, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are inserting the PC
Card in the correct direction. See the manual that came with your PC Card for more information.
