Inserting/Removing the MicroSD CardD
Your bq Edison 3 mini has an internal memory that can be expanded to 32 GB by
using a MicroSD card.

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, switch the device off before removing the MicroSD
card.

unmount it in order to avoid damaging the card and losing any data.
To unmount the card, open the Settings menu on your device and go to Storage >
