Using memory card readers (select models only)
Optional memory cards provide secure data storage and convenient data sharing. These cards are
often used with digital media–equipped cameras and PDAs as well as with other computers.

your computer on page 5.
Inserting a memory card
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the memory card connectors, use minimal force to
insert a memory card.
1. Hold the card label-side up, with the connectors facing the computer.
2. Insert the card into the memory card reader, and then press in on the card until it is firmly
seated.
You will hear a sound when the device has been detected, and a menu of options may be
displayed.
