should face up. Press down on the card until it clicks into

Multi-Media Card (MMC) Slot place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then replace and tighten the screw snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and may damage the cover.
