About RAM Cards
If you’re using a RAM card with the OmniBook, keep these suggestions in mind:
• For a new RAM card, install its battery before you insert the card.
• Replace the RAM card battery yearly.
When you want to replace a RAM card battery, plug the card into the OmniBook
and make sure the OmniBook stays turned on while you replace the battery—
you can plug in the ac adapter to keep it from turning off. Otherwise, the data on
the card will be lost.
To remove a PC card
Caution
Never remove an I/O card while an application is open that’s set up to use that
card—exit the application first. If you remove the card, the application (or the
OmniBook) might behave unpredictably or stop responding until you restart
the OmniBook.
Never insert or remove a plug-in card while the PC card drive is actively
reading or writing data. Wait until the PC card drive is done—otherwise, you
could lose data or the OmniBook could stop responding.
1. Click the PC card indicator in the taskbar, then click Stop.
This protects your data and avoids unexpected problems. You can restart the
card by removing it, then inserting again.
2. If necessary, rotate the ejector button so that it protrudes from the case.
3. Press the black ejector button until the card pops out, then pull out the card.
