Caution
Before inserting PC-Cards please make sure that the PC-Card Ejector is

completely pressed otherwise the cards e.g. Flash Memory Cards could get stuck

in the slot. The PC-Cards cannot be inserted correctly.
Always insert the PC card with the label toward the rear of the programming

device.
Do not remove the PC card while data transfer is in progress (risk of data loss and

system crash).
