No lever necessary. Grab the edge of the card where it sticks out from the machine, positioning your fingers in the indentations in the center of the slot, and pull out.

Put it back the same way - making sure you put it ALL the way in. Sometimes there is a slight click, sometimes not.

Don't remove it too soon after arising - give it at least an hour before you check the data.

Cheers,
Babs

That lever might be to remove the entire module not the card. I put a paper clip in the hole in the card to give me little handle. Also keeps you from putting the card in the wrong way.
