You will need a Micro SD card, minimum 256MB and maximum 32GB. You may also need a card reader (built into a PC, or an external reader).
The device’s Micro SD slot is on the right side. Remove the cover with a small Phillips screwdriver. Insert the card with the metallic end ﬁrst. If it sticks, don’t force it. Flip it over and try the other way.
