5. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Logilink Card Reader Stick.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure no dust or debris enters the card slot or USB connector.
• Storage: When not in use, keep the protective caps on the card reader to prevent dust and physical damage to the USB connector and card slot. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not force memory cards into the slot; ensure correct orientation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Logilink Card Reader Stick, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Try plugging the card reader into a different USB port on your computer.
  • Ensure the memory card is fully and correctly inserted into the card reader.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Check your computer's Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS) to see if the device is listed, even with an error.
• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Ensure you are using a USB 2.0 port. While compatible with USB 3.0/3.1/3.2, the device will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
  • The speed of the memory card itself can affect transfer rates.
  • Avoid transferring many small files simultaneously; compressing them into an archive can sometimes improve speed.
• Memory Card Not Readable:
  • Ensure the memory card is not write-protected (check for a small lock switch on SD cards).
  • Test the memory card in another compatible device if possible to rule out card issues.
  • Ensure the card format (SD, SDHC, MMC, RS-MMC) is supported by the reader.
