How to use

Insert the appropriate memory card(s) into the matching slot(s) on the reader. Connect the reader to a computer, tablet or smartphone using the built-in USB-C connector or the supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter. The device is plug-and-play on most operating systems; wait for the host device to recognize the reader and access the card files through the file manager or photo/video application. Use the included card key to remove cards if needed and consult the user manual for slot-specific instructions.

Usage recommendations

For reliable transfers, connect the reader directly to a USB port on the host device rather than through an unpowered hub. Ensure cards are properly seated before connecting and safely eject cards from the operating system before removal. Keep the reader in its protective case or attached to the carabiner when transporting to reduce the risk of damage.
