About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1

USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard 

offers speeds up to 5Gbps.

Note:

 Data transfer rates are dependent upon the speed of the 

memory card you are using and the speed capabilities of the USB 

port on your host device.

The FCREADU3C supports the following types of memory cards:

•  microSD, microSDHC™, microSDXC™

•  CompactFlash Type I and Type II card

•  Secure Digital (SDSC), Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC™) 

card, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC™) card

Use the FCREADU3C

1.  Gently slide a memory card into the appropriate card slot on the 

FCREADU3C until you feel resistance and the card is fully inserted.

2.  Insert the 

USB-C plug

 on the USB card reader into the USB port 

on your computer, tablet, or device.

3.  To access content on the USB card reader, follow the instructions 

specific to the OS that you’re running.

Note: 

Avoid inserting multiple cards into the card reader at the same 

time. You can only access data stored on one card at a time. 

Troubleshooting

I can’t access the data stored on my cards

If you’re experiencing issues when you try to access the data stored 

on your memory card, consider the following:

•  Some operating systems may not support all file formats. Make 

sure that the operating system you’re using supports the type of 

memory card and the files that you’re trying to access.

•  If you insert multiple memory cards into the FCREADU3C, you 

won’t be able to access the data stored on the cards at the same 

time. Make sure that you only insert one memory card in the card 

reader.

Note:

 The FCREADU3C prioritizes card access based on the most 

recent memory card that was inserted.
