Never insert or remove a plug-in card while an OmniBook PC card drive is

actively reading or writing data. Wait until the PC card drive is done—

otherwise, you could lose data or the OmniBook could stop responding.

The OmniBook card slots support standard version 2.1 Type I, II, and III PC cards.

The computer automatically detects and sets up a card when you insert it in a card

slot. A new data storage card may already be formatted and contain preinstalled

software—check its instructions.

1. Hold the card with its face up and its connector holes toward the card slot, then

slide it into a PC card slot until it won't go any further.

When the card is fully inserted, the PC card icon appears on the

Status panel. A double beep signals that the card has been

recognized and is successfully configured by your computer.

2. Inserting a card causes the slot's eject button to protrude from the case. You can

rotate the button towards the front to make it flush with the case.

About RAM Cards

If you're using a RAM card with the OmniBook, keep these suggestions in mind:

For a new RAM card, install its battery before you insert the card.

Replace the RAM card battery yearly.

When you want to replace a RAM card battery, plug the card into the OmniBook

and make sure the OmniBook stays turned on while you replace the battery—

you can plug in the ac adapter to keep it from turning off. Otherwise, the data on

the card will be lost.
