Port on the FCREADU3HC to an available USB Port on your
Computer System.

Hardware Operation
Card Installation
1. Gently insert a memory card into the appropriate Card Slot, with
the label side facing upward.
Note:
The card does not need to be forced into place.
2. Access the memory card like any other removable storage device,
such as an external hard drive, or a thumb drive.
Card Removal
1. Ensure the card has been un-mounted from your computer
system.
Note:
Steps for un-mounting your card will vary depending on
your operating system. Please consult the instructions included
with your computer system for further details. Failure to properly
un-mount the card may result in lost data or physical damaged to
your card.
2. Gently slide the card out of the card slot.
USB 3.0 Hub Operation
The included USB hub allows you to connect up to 2 additional
USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1) devices to your
computer system through the FCREADU3HC.
USB 2.0 Hub Port with Fast Charge Operation
The USB 2.0 port with Fast Charge is a battery charging port
capable of providing up to 5 volts, 2 amps to any USB mobile device
connected through the port. This allows for devices to charge faster
than they typically would through a standard USB port. The port also
allows for USB 2.0 data communication at the same time.
Note:
Certain devices may not support charging and syncing
simultaneously. If your device does not start charging when
connected press the charge only button on the top of the adapter
to switch the USB 2.0 port to charge only mode then disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable. While in charge only mode the device will
not be able to sync data with the PC only charge.
