■ Installing or removing a PC Card during your LifeBook
notebook's shutdown or bootup process may damage
the card and/or your notebook.
■ Do not insert a PC Card into a slot if there is water or
any other substance on the card as you may perma-

Failure to do so could result in damage to the card
socket.

REMOVING PC CARDS

To remove a PC Card, follow these easy steps:
C A U T I O N
Windows has a shutdown procedure for PC Cards that
must be followed before removing a card. (Please
review your operating system manual for the correct
procedure). Before removing a PC Card in Windows
2000 Professional, shut down PC Card operation using
the Unplug/Eject Hardware icon located on the taskbar.
1. See your PC Card manual for specific instructions
on removing your card. Some PC Cards may require
your notebook to be in Suspend Mode or Off while
removing them.
P O I N T
If the dialog box states that the device cannot be
removed, you must save all of your open files, close
any open applications and shut down your notebook.
2. Flip the Eject button towards the front of your note-
book until it is fully extended, and then push it in
until it is flush with the notebook. This will push the
PC Card slightly out of the slot allowing you to
remove the card.
C A U T I O N
If the PC Card has an external connector and cable, do
not pull the cable when removing the card.
