system may not activate properly. When the computer is off, skip steps 1

2Double-click the PC card icon.

3Click the name of the PC card you want to remove from the list that

displays, then click Stop.

4When the message “You can remove the PC card” appears in the

display, click OK.

5Press the RELEASE button to remove the PC card.

Insert the PC card slot protector back into the empty slot.

✍Do not force a card into the slot as this may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty

inserting a card, check that you are inserting the card with the correct orientation. See the

manual that came with your PC card for more information on use.

For some PC cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the System Suspend

or System Hibernation power management modes while the card is inserted, you may find

that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Restart your system to correct the

problem.
