3.2 Insert the memory card

Slide the memory card into the card slot (A), stopping when the card termi- nals are fully inserted in the connectors at the back of the slot. The card should be inserted with the label facing the ▲ CARD indicator at the en- trance to the card slot. After the card is fully inserted, fold the eject button over and close the cover (B).
