For older operating systems:
Some memory card formats (such as exFAT) require you to install a
system patch in order for the card reader to recognize the memory card. For more information, refer to the
operating instructions and the latest update information for your operating system.
• The card reader (and the card) may be damaged if the card is not inserted in the correct orientation.
• Never disconnect the card reader or remove the card when data is being transferred, as this could lead to
data loss or corrupt the data on the card.
• Before removing a memory card from the card reader, it must be safely unmounted on your computer to
avoid lost or corrupted data and to prevent damage to the card reader. For details, refer to the instructions
for your operating system.
