3. Using SIM Cards

For SIM card operations, insert the SIM card into its dedicated slot. You will need specific SIM card management software (not included) to read or edit SIM card data.

Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the device, as this will void the warranty.
• Ensure cards are inserted gently and correctly to prevent damage to the card reader or the cards.

Troubleshooting

• Device not recognized / Drivers not installing:

  Ensure the mini CD is inserted correctly. If your computer lacks a CD drive, search online for "UTHAI X02 drivers" to download the latest version. Ensure you download drivers compatible with your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit).
• Card not being read:

  Check that the card is inserted correctly, with the chip facing the right direction. Ensure the card reader is firmly connected to the USB port. Verify that the necessary application software for your specific card type (e.g., banking software, ID card software) is installed and running.

• "It does not work" / Need for additional software:

  After installing the device drivers, you will need specific application software to interact with different types of smart cards. For example, to use a bank card, you'll need your bank's online banking software. For national ID cards, you'll need the relevant government-provided software. The card reader itself provides the hardware interface; the software handles the card's functions.

• Compatibility with Windows 11:

  While the manual lists compatibility up to Windows 10, the device generally works with Windows 11. Ensure you have the latest drivers installed, which are often backward and forward compatible.
• Cannot write to cards / Delete fingerprints:

  This device is primarily a card reader. Its ability to write or modify data on certain smart cards (like national ID cards or bank cards) is restricted by the card's security features and the specific application software used. It is not designed for unauthorized modification or cloning of secure cards.

User Tips

• Always install the drivers before connecting the card reader to your computer for the first time.
• If using a laptop without a CD drive, prepare by downloading the drivers from the manufacturer's website in advance.
• For optimal performance, ensure you are using the correct application software for the specific smart card you intend to use.
• Keep the card reader's USB cable free from kinks or damage to ensure a stable connection.
