How to use

Connect the included USB cable to the card reader and to an available USB port on your computer. Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot until it locks into place. The operating system should detect the reader as an external storage device; use file manager tools to copy, move or open files. When finished, safely eject the device from the operating system before removing the card to prevent data corruption.

Recommendations

Use the reader on a stable surface and avoid removing cards during active data transfer. For optimal performance, connect to a USB 2.0 port directly on the computer rather than through a passive hub. Keep the card contacts clean and handle cards by the edges to reduce the risk of damage.
