This booklet describes how to use your

PCMCIA Expansion Module. Please read the

following safety and use instructions before

you use your module.

Important safety and use instructions

m Do not insert or remove your PCMCIA

Expansion Module while your PowerBook

computer is on or in Sleep mode. If you do,

your computer will shut down and you will

lose any work that was not saved.

m The lever on the PCMCIA Expansion

Module is for removing the entire PCMCIA

Expansion Module. See “Ejecting a Card”

for information on how to eject a card.

m Keep the cap for your PCMCIA Expansion

Module so that you can place it back on the

module when you are not using the module.

The cap protects the module from damage.

m Do not open the module or insert anything

other than a PCMCIA card into the slot. If

you do, any damage you may cause to the

module will not be covered by the warranty.

m Keep the module in a safe place, away from

small objects that might accidentally fall

into an opening in the module.

m Before you eject a card, make sure that

nothing is blocking the card’s slot. After you

eject the card, the card will pop out. If you

want to use the card again immediately, pull

it out about an inch more and then push it

back in. (If you don’t follow this procedure

and you try to push the card back in to use it

again, the card will not engage properly.)

m Use only cards that are compatible with the

PCMCIA Expansion Module. Using an

incompatible card may result in damage to

the module or to the card. If you aren’t sure

whether your card is compatible, see the

information that came with the card.

WARNING

If you have a problem with your

PCMCIA Expansion Module and nothing

presented in this booklet solves it, consult

the service and support information that

came with your Apple computer for

instructions on how to contact an Apple-

authorized service provider or Apple for

assistance. If you attempt to repair the

module yourself, any damage you may

cause to the module will not be covered

by the limited warranty on your module.

Contact an Apple-authorized dealer or

service provider for additional

information about this or any other

warranty question.
