Inserting a Micro SD Card
A Micro SD card must be inserted with the metal contacts facing the front (towards the touchscreen) of the tester, as shown below.
The card should slide in easily when properly oriented. You may need a paperclip or thumbnail to carefully push the SD card in far enough to engage the spring mechanism for insertion and removal.
Using a Kensington Lock
The slot for a standard Kensington lock is the right front vent hole on the bottom of the tester, as shown below.
