Inserting Cartridges into the Magazine

Insert cartridges so that the label end with the write protect switch is outward, with the write
protect switch toward the bottom of the magazine. After you insert the desired cartridges into
the magazine, position the magazine so the cartridges protrude to the left, and the magazine
handle is toward you. Insert the magazine into the PowerLoader with that orientation.
