How to use

Connect the included USB cable to a free USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port on your computer. Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot with the contact side oriented according to the card reader's markings. The device should be recognised automatically by modern operating systems; open the file manager on your computer to access the card contents. When file operations are complete, use the system's safe removal procedure before unplugging the reader or removing the card to avoid data corruption.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, plug the reader into a USB 3.0/3.2 port and use cards with matching speed class (e.g., UHS or V30/U3 for high-bitrate video). Avoid forcing cards into slots and store the reader and cards in a dry, dust-free place when not in use. Regularly back up important data to a separate storage device.
