Removing a Memory Card Safely
The card reader's USB driver supports hot-swapping. This means that you can
insert or remove any memory cards while the computer is still running. However,
it is possible that a copying task hasn't been fully completed or that there are still
files in the cache. This can occasionally lead to loss of data or damage the media.
In order to remove your memory cards safely and without any risks form your com-
puter, proceed as follows:
1. Toggle to Windows Explorer. If it hasn't been opened yet, run it via the Start
menu.
2. Select the removable media drive you want to remove on the left window frame.
Click once with the right mouse button. A context menu will show up. Select the
Eject command.
3. Windows will now end any access to the drive and you may remove it without
any risk.
2.3 Modem, Internet and Network
Connecting the Modem
Prior to being able to use the internal modem you need to establish the cable con-
nections. Modems use conventional telephone lines for the Internet connection. All
you need is a standard telephone wall connector and the modem cable. The cable
is supplied with your computer and can be installed straight away.
1. Unpack the modem cable.
2. Connect one end of the Western plug cable to the corresponding port on the
back of your PC. This can be found on the lower part of the computer case. The
Western plug features a small lock that faces slightly away from the plug. This lock
needs to be aligned with the corresponding notch of the port. When the computer is
standing up, this lock must face down. The cable clicks into place. If you want to
remove the Western plug, carefully press the lock to unlock it. Then you can re-
move the cable.
3. The other end of the cable needs to be inserted into the wall telephone outlet. In
some countries you may need an adapter in order to connect the modem. In this
case, connect the modem cable to the supplied adapter first and then connect it to
the telephone wall outlet. Insert the modem cable carefully, applying slight pressure.
If the plug does not fit, you have probably tried the wrong port or your port is not
suitable for the plug.
