remove the PC Card from the PC Card slot to conserve battery power.

1 Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar. The
Safely Remove Hardware dialog box appears.
2 Click to select the PC Card in the Hardware devices window, if it is not
already selected.
3 Click Stop. The Stop a Hardware device window appears.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins.
When a PC Card is inserted, do not place your computer in a bag or case.
Pressure or shock to a PC Card may damage your computer.
Touching the head of the PC Card will not damage to the connector pins,
but damage may occur if the head of the PC Card is sticking out of the PC
Card slot while the computer is being transported.
