Operating elements
a) Connection
• Switch your computer on and wait until the operating system is completely booted.
• Connect the USB cable included in the delivery with the card reader.
• Connect the USB cable with a free USB port of your computer or USB hub. Windows
recognizes the card reader automatically.
• Afterwards, the slots of the card reader appear in the File Explorer as additional
drives.
b) Removing memory cards
• Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot of the card reader; there is only
one correct orientation. Do not use any force when you are inserting it! Several
slots can be used simultaneously, if for example, you wish to transfer data between
the memory cards.
• If there is any read/write access on the memory card, wait until it is finished.
• Only then remove the memory card. If the memory card is pulled out during a read/
write access, the data on the memory card may get damaged, and it may even be
necessary to reformat the memory card.
c) Plugging in and Unplugging the Card Reader
• Remove all plugged in memory cards before the connection or the disconnection
of the card reader or before turning the computer off in order to prevent possible
damage to the data stored in the memory card or the memory card itself.
d) Reading/Writing of Memory Cards
• Each plug-in unit of the card reader is integrated like a normal removable medium
drive. Windows automatically allocates additional drive letters. You can now read
the data on the memory cards in File Explorer (or record data on the memory cards)
as you do with hard discs or floppy drives.
Tips & Notes
• For some memory cards (e.g. high speed memory cards, CF memory cards with
integrated hard disks) a high power USB port is necessary; this is a USB port, that
can provide a power of more than 100mA (e.g. the USB port of the mainboard or of a
USB hub with its own plug-in power supply). USB hubs without own plug-in power
supply provide, in general, max. 100mA per USB port. This might lead to malfunction.
The same is valid if several memory cards are inserted simultaneously in the card
reader. In such cases, always use for the card reader a USB port of the computer or
a USB hub with own power supply unit.
• When deleting or writing on memory cards in SD or memorystick format you have to
make sure that the write protection is off.
• Use preferably a USB2.0 port to connect the card reader. USB ports of older
computers in keyboards or in monitors often support USB1.1 only. Here, the max.
data rate is approximately 1Mbyte per second. Depending on the speed of your
memory card, with USB2.0, several Mbyte/s are possible! Therefore, for a fast
transfer, you should always use a USB2.0 port for the card reader (tremendous
saving of time during data transfer!).
