Inserting the Memory Card
The eReader supports microSD cards in both FAT and NTFS file systems. NTFS is needed to copy files larger than 4GB.
To insert a memory card: Check that the microSD card is in the correct position with the
contact pin facing upwards as illustrated below. You may damage the card and the eReader if the card is not inserted correctly.
Push the card into the card slot until it clicks. To remove the card, push the card once again until it clicks. When a card is inserted or ejected from the eReader, it may
take few seconds for the eReader to update the content.
Please avoid inserting or ejecting a card when other operations
are taking place as this may cause the system to hang.
Do not remove the card if the content on the card is being
played. This will halt the operation of the eReader and cause the eReader to restart.
If the system stops responding, press and hold the <Power>
button for 6 seconds to reset and turn it off.

eBooks stored on the microSD card are not recognized by the
kalahari.com eReader software when connected to a PC.
