Reading from/writing to memory cards
A memory card inserted into the card reader will be integrated in the same way as a conven-
tional 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 attained when reading / writing a memory card depends on your memory
card.
Reminder! When writing on SD/SDHC/SDXC storage media, make sure that write
protection is switched off (small sliding switch on the side of the 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” le system of SDXC memory cards be supported.
You can download the update at www.microsoft.com. To nd the update, enter the search
terms, e.g., “exfat windows xp” in the search bar of your Internet browser.
With Windows Vista you have to install the service pack 1 in order for the card reader to sup-
port SDXC cards.
Newer versions of windows directly support the “exFAT” le system of SDXC memory cards
(e.g., Windows 7 or higher).

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.
Inserting/removing the memory card
The two directly superposed slots for SD and microSD memory cards are directly
connected internally and cannot be used simultaneously.
Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot in the card reader (as printed on the card reader).
Pay attention to the correct orientation when inserting the memory card; do not use force!
If you wish to remove the memory card from the card reader (or to disconnect the card reader
from the computer), wait until all read/write accesses to the memory card are completed. Only
then you should remove the memory card from the card reader.
If the memory card is removed during read/write access (or the card reader is dis-
connected from the computer), the data on the memory card can be damaged. The
memory card may possibly even require subsequent re-formatting.
