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 permanently dam-
age the card, your LifeBook notebook,
or both.
Be sure to orient the card properly
before inserting it. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the card socket.

on the installation of your card. Some PC Cards
may require your notebook to be Off while
installing them.

SMART CARD READER
An embedded Smart Card Reader is provided on your
LifeBook notebook. Smart Cards are the same size and
shape as credit cards, but they contain an integrated
microprocessor chip. The chip can hold a variety of
different information, and provides the user with many
possible options, such as allowing them to make secure
purchases, pay for phone calls, store security informa-
tion, and provide personal identification and informa-
tion.
If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open applica-
tions and shut down your notebook.
.
If the PC Card has an external connector
and cable, do not pull the cable when
removing the card.
