Step 1:
Insert the memory card into the slot
while making sure 1) the notch and the
key are aligned, and 2) the non-connec-
tor end rises approximately 45 degrees
horizontally. Press the card firmly into
the socket while applying and main-
taining 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.
