Removing a Card on a PC
Before you remove a digital media card, make sure that the Access Indicator at the front
of the 3 in 1 Reader/Writer is not flashing. The Indicator flashes when the 3 in 1 Reader/
Writer is reading or writing data on a card. Please wait until the read/write operations are
complete and the Indicator stops flashing before you remove a card. Removing a card
during read/write access causes lost or corrupted data.
To remove a card, grasp the end of the card with your thumb and index fingers, and remove
it from the appropriate slot.
Mounting and Accessing a Card on a Macintosh
After you inser t a card on a Macintosh, a distinct icon appears on the Mac OS desktop.
This is the mounted state, which allows you to per form read and write operations on the
card. After inser ting a card, the time required for mounting depends on the type and brand
of card. Usually, a card mounts on the desktop within a few seconds.
You can access a mounted card just like a floppy or other type of removable disk.
Double-click the card’s icon to open it's file window. In the example below, an untitled
media card was inser ted in the 3 in 1 Reader/Writer. The card’s file window shows that it
contains 10 high resolution TIF images from a professional digital camera. You can dis-
play, copy, edit, or delete any of the images stored on the card.
Note:
The screen below differs slightly for Mac OS 10.1.2 and higher.
IMPORTANT:
If you are running Mac OS 9, be sure the Apple "File Exchange" control panel
is set to load in your system folder - you can activate it using the Apple "Extensions Man-
ager" control panel.
