Connecting and disconnecting USB devices
The tablet comes with one USB port on its left edge. You can connect a USB
device to the tablet by inserting its USB plug (type A) into this port. The first
time you plug in a USB device, Windows automatically installs the driver for
that device. After the driver is installed, you can disconnect and reconnect
the device without any additional steps.
Note: Some devices may require you to install drivers before you can connect them. For
details, refer to the documentation supplied with the device you are connecting.
When you have finished using the device, you can disconnect it. If you are
using a USB storage device, make sure that the tablet has finished
transferring data to/from that device. To safely remove the device, tap the
Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area of Windows before
disconnecting the plug.
When the USB port is not in use, put the plastic cover back in place to
prevent dust from going inside the tablet.
Inserting and removing microSD cards
The tablet comes with one microSD slot on its left edge. You can insert a
microSD memory card into this slot for data transferring with the tablet. To
insert a microSD memory card, do the following:
1 Align the microSD memory card with the slot, with the metal contact
facing downwards.
2 Gently push the memory card into the slot until you hear a click.
