PC Card overheating

Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are installed, both

can become hot even if only one is used extensively. Overheating of a PC Card can

result in errors or instability in the PC Card operation. Also be careful when you

remove a PC Card that has been used for a long time.
