Getting Started
You can choose whether to store your multimedia files on the tablet’s internal memory or directly on
the MicroSD card. Remember that any content stored on the MicroSD card will not be available when
the card is removed, and any apps stored on there will no longer function.
Getting Started
Inserting and Removing the MicroSD Card
The internal memory of your Aquaris M10 can be expanded to 64 GB using a MicroSD card.
To insert a MicroSD card, follow these steps:
Insert the MicroSD card into the slot, making sure the metal pins are at the bottom and
facing backwards (i.e. towards the back of the device).
Push the card in until you hear a slight click, which indicates that it has been inserted
correctly. If the card is not inserted correctly,the device may not recognise it and its content
will not be available.
To remove the MicroSD card, follow the steps above in reverse, bearing in mind the following
recommendations:
a. For greater security, we recommend switching the device off before removing the
MicroSD card.
b. If you need to remove the MicroSD card while the device is switched on, unmount it first
to avoid damaging the card and losing any data. To unmount the card, open the Settings
menu on your device and go to Storage > Remove SD card.
