Step 1:
Insert the memory card into the slot
while making sure 1) the notch and
the key are aligned, and 2) the non-
connector end rises approximately 45
degrees horizontally. Press the card
firmly into the socket while applying
and maintaining even pressure on both
ends.
Step 2:
Press the end of the card far from
the socket down while making sure
the retention notch and the clip align
as indicated by the dotted line in the
illustration. If the retention notch and
the clip do not align, please remove the
card and re-insert it. Press the card all
the way down.
Step 3:
The clips snap automatically and
abruptly to the retention notches of the
card sounding a distinctive click, and
lock the card in place. Inspect that the
clip sits in the notch. If not, please pull
the clips outward, release and remove
the card, and mount it again.
