Part III. Using your Parallel CameraMate™ Reader
Inserting CompactFlash™ Cards
1)
Position the CompactFlash™ card with the top of the manufacturer’s label facing
upward and the positioning arrow (located on the label) facing toward the media slot.
2)
Insert the CompactFlash™ card into the CompactFlash™ slot. Be certain of the
orientation – all leading manufacturers of CompactFlash™ adhere to a specification
requiring a positive keying of the card.
3)
Gently push the card into the CompactFlash™ slot until the card is fully inserted.
The card will slide in on the molded rails and a slight amount of resistance will be felt
as the connectors make contact. This is normal.
IMPORTANT: If excessive force is required, or the card just doesn’t seem to fit,
do not attempt to force the card in the reader, instead call Microtech’s toll free
Technical Support number for assistance.
