Inserting/removing the memory card
The card reader has a total of 8 slots (in one of the two micro SD slots a M2
memory card can also be inserted).
The two directly superposed slots for SD and micro SD memory cards are
directly connected internally and cannot be used simultaneously.
Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot in the card reader (as printed on the
card reader). Pay attention to the correct orientation when inserting the memory card;
do not use force!
If you wish to remove the memory card from the card reader (or to disconnect the
card reader from the computer), wait until all read/write accesses to the memory card
are completed. Only then you should remove the memory card from the card reader.
If the memory card is removed during read/write access (or the card reader
is disconnected from the computer), the data on the memory card can be
damaged. The memory card may possibly even require subsequent re-for-
matting.
Reading from/writing to memory cards
A memory card inserted into the card reader will be integrated in the same way as a
conventional removable media drive. For example, with the Windows File Manager
you can now read the data on the memory card (or store data on the memory card) in
the same way as you use a USB hard drive or a USB stick.
The maximum speed attainable when reading / writing a memory card depends on
your memory card.
Reminder! When writing on SD/SDHC/SDXC/MS memory cards, make sure
that the write protection is switched off (small sliding switch on the side of
the memory card).
Tips for SDXC memory cards
In order to use SDXC memory cards with Windows XP, an update of Windows XP is
required. Only then will the “exFat” file system of SDXC memory cards be supported.
You can download the update at www.microsoft.com. To find the update, enter the
search terms e.g.”exfat windows xp” in the search bar of your Internet browser.
With Windows Vista you have to have Service Pack 1 installed in order for the card
reader to support SDXC cards.
Newer versions of windows directly support the “exFAT” file system of SDXC memory
cards (e.g. Windows 7 or higher).
