How to use

Insert a supported memory card into the appropriate slot of the icybox IB-CR204-CU3 and connect the reader to an available USB port on your computer using the integrated or supplied cable. The host system should recognise the device automatically and mount the card as removable storage. Use your operating system’s file manager or image-import tools to copy, move or edit files. Eject the card through the system safely before removing it from the reader to prevent data corruption.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect the card reader to a USB 3.0 or higher port on the host device and use memory cards that meet the speed requirements of your camera or recorder. Avoid removing cards during active file transfers and store the reader in a protective pouch when not in use to reduce the risk of physical damage.
