Removing a memory card
To remove a Memory Stick or other memory card, proceed as follows:
1
Make sure the indicator light is not on.
2
Push the Memory Stick or card in to release it, and then pull it out.
✍
You are recommended to remove the memory card before shutting down the computer.
If an error message appears when you remove it, insert the memory card into the slot again and press
<Enter>
. Wait until the active application
finishes, then remove the memory card. If the message confirms the ejection of the card, click
OK
.
Please do not remove the memory stick when memory card access lamp is on. Otherwise, the card may not be detected the next time it is inserted
into the slot. If the card is removed by mistake and is subsequently not detected, please shut off the power of the computer, wait ten seconds and
then turn it on again.
The
Sony UMH-U HS-XX USB Device
icon (or similar) is shown in the taskbar when a USB device is in use. However, it also runs Memory Sticks,
CompactFlash cards and SmartMedia. It is important that you do not use this icon to disable these memory cards, as it disables all the slots. If you
accidentally remove any of the cards via this icon, please restart your computer.
