Trasferimento dei dati

Once a memory card is inserted, your computer's operating system should recognize it as a removable drive. You can then access the card's contents through your file explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Drag and drop files to and from the memory card, or use copy/paste functions to transfer data. Always safely eject the removable drive from your computer before removing the memory card to prevent data corruption.

Manutenzione

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SanDisk ImageMate card reader, keep it clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents. Do not insert foreign objects into the card slots. Store the reader in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Carta non riconosciuta: Ensure the card is fully and correctly inserted into the appropriate slot. Try inserting a different card to verify reader functionality.
• High-Capacity Cards (e.g., 2GB CF) Not Working with Laptop PC Card Adapters: Some laptop PC card adapters may not supply sufficient power for high-capacity cards. If your PC card adapter came with a supplementary USB power cord, connect it to provide additional power.
• Lexar Memory Stick Pro Cards Not Readable: Some users have reported compatibility issues with certain Lexar Memory Stick Pro cards. If you encounter this, try a different brand of Memory Stick Pro or verify compatibility with your specific card model.
• SD Slot Malfunction: If the SD slot specifically is not functioning, ensure no debris is obstructing the slot. If the issue persists with multiple SD cards, the slot may be faulty.
• Problemi software: The included ArcSoft button software may cause system instability on some Windows XP systems. The card reader typically functions as a plug-and-play device without requiring additional drivers for basic operation. Consider using the reader without installing the bundled software if you experience issues.
