5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Connecting to Mobile Devices (Smartphones/Tablets)

This card reader supports OTG (On-The-Go) functionality, allowing direct connection to compatible smartphones and tablets.

1. Ensure your mobile device supports OTG.
2. For Apple devices, an iOS system of 13 or higher is required to support OTG functionality.
3. Select the appropriate connector (Type-C, Micro USB, or Lightning) on the card reader.
4. Plug the card reader into your mobile device's charging port.
5. Your device should automatically detect the external storage. You can then access files through your device's file manager app (e.g., "Files" app on iOS, "My Files" or similar on Android).

5.2. Connecting to Computers (Laptops/Desktops)

1. Select the appropriate connector (USB-A or Type-C) on the card reader.
2. Plug the card reader into an available USB port on your computer.
3. The computer will automatically detect the card reader as a removable drive. You can access the memory card's contents through "This PC" (Windows) or "Finder" (macOS).
4. No drivers or software are required for Windows 10/8/7, Vista, XP, and MAC OS 10.

5.3. Data Transfer and Management

1. Once connected, you can drag and drop files between your device's internal storage and the memory card.
2. You can also copy, cut, paste, delete, and rename files directly on the memory card using your device's file manager.
3. For high-capacity storage (over 128GB), if the card is formatted in NTFS, it may not be readable by Apple devices. You will need to format it to FAT32 or EXFAT on a computer before it can be read on the device.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the card reader clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card reader, as this will void any potential warranty and may damage the device.
• Store the card reader in its integrated storage box when not in use to protect the connectors and card slots.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Device Not Recognized

• Check Connection: Ensure the card reader is fully inserted into your device's port.
• Try Another Port: If using a computer, try a different USB port.
• Check Memory Card: Ensure the memory card is properly inserted into the card reader. Try the memory card in another device to confirm it's functional.
• Restart Device: Restart your smartphone, tablet, or computer and try again.
• OTG Compatibility: For mobile devices, confirm that your device supports OTG functionality. For Apple devices, ensure iOS 13 or higher is installed.

7.2. Cannot Read High-Capacity Cards (Over 128GB) on Apple Devices

• Apple's operating system primarily supports FAT32 and EXFAT storage formats. If your high-capacity card (over 128GB) is formatted in NTFS, it will not be readable.
• Solution: Connect the memory card to a computer and reformat it to FAT32 or EXFAT. (Note: Formatting will erase all data on the card, so back up important files first).

7.3. Slow Data Transfer

• USB Port Speed: Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port on your computer for optimal speeds. USB 2.0 ports will result in slower transfers.
• Memory Card Speed: The transfer speed is also limited by the speed class of your memory card.
• File Size: Transferring many small files can be slower than transferring a few large files of the same total size.

8. Warranty and Support
