Using Your VAIO Computer
!
Insert the PC Card slot protector to protect against debris entering the slot when not using a PC Card. Before moving your computer, make sure to insert the PC Card slot protector into the slot.
✍
Some devices may not function properly if you continuously switch to Normal mode from Sleep or Hibernate mode. For some PC Cards, if you alternate between Normal mode and Sleep or Hibernate mode while the card is inserted, you may find that the device connected to your system through the PC Card is not recognized. Restart your system to correct the problem.
While the card is inserted, your computer may not enter Hibernate mode but Sleep mode. We recommend that you remove the card if you want the computer to enter Hibernate mode.
Make sure you use the latest software driver provided by the PC Card manufacturer.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are inserting the PC Card in the correct direction. See the manual that came with your PC Card for more information.
