Getting started, connection
•
Insert first a memory card into the card reader’s slot as described above.
•
Slide out the USB plug and then connect the card reader to the USB 3.0 port of your
computer. The computer does not need to be switched off.
When carrying the card reader, the USB plug is slid in and is thus protected against
damage.
•
The operating system of your computer will detect the new hardware, and automatically
install the required drivers; they are already present in the operating system.
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.
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. Enter search terms like “exfat windows
xp” into the search bar of your Internet browser to find the update.
•
With Windows
®
Vista you have to install the service pack 1 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).

reader from the USB port.

connected from the computer), the data on the memory card can be damaged. The
memory card may possibly even require subsequent re-formatting.
