(Sample Illustration) Inserting memory media
When inserting memory media, do not touch the metal contacts. You
could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy
data.
Removing memory media
1Prepare the media for removal by clicking the Safely Remove
Hardware icon in the Notification Area and then selecting the
card or device you want to remove.
If the system is unable to prepare the media for safe removal, a
message will tell you to try again later. If the media can be
removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware.
2Gently press the card inward to release it.
The card pops out slightly.
3Grasp the card and pull it straight out.

(Sample Illustration) Removing memory media
Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.
Even when the Windows® message “copying...” disappears, writing
to the media might still be in progress and your data could be
destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.
