How to remove the card

To prevent theft of the memory card (CompactFlash), the BR-
900CD is shipped from the factory with a card protector.
fig.00-103
To remove the card protector, use the following procedure.
1. Make sure the card cover is closed, then the BR-900CD
over.
* When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four
corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and
controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons
or controls get damaged.
* When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid
dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
2. Using a coin or
flathead screwdriver,
unscrew and remove
the coin screw from
the bottom panel.
3. Pull out the card
cover in the direction
indicated by the
arrow.
4. To prevent loss of the
card protector after it
is removed, place it as
shown in the figure.
Insert the card
protector in the slot as
indicated by the
arrow.
5. Turn the BR-900CD
back over to its
original position.
Should you remove the screws, make sure to put them in a
safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of
them being swallowed accidentally.
