How to use
Connect the ADVANCE CR-008U3 card reader to an available USB port on your Windows or Mac computer.

Use the host file manager to copy, move or delete files as required. When finished, use the operating system's safe removal or ejection process before unplugging the reader to avoid data corruption.
Usage recommendations
For reliable transfers, ensure the memory card is compatible with the supported formats and is inserted correctly. Avoid removing the card or unplugging the reader while data is being written.
