Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UGREEN USB C Micro SD Card Reader, consider the following:

Material and Heat Dissipation: The reader is constructed from premium zinc alloy, which aids in efficient heat dissipation. It is normal for the device's surface temperature to rise during prolonged use or high-speed data transfer, especially in warm environments. This is a normal phenomenon and helps protect the internal chip.
Cleaning: Keep the card reader clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use. The included keychain can help prevent loss.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UGREEN USB C Micro SD Card Reader, refer to the following common solutions:

Device Not Recognized:
- Ensure the Micro SD card is fully and correctly inserted into the reader.
- Try unplugging and re-plugging the card reader into your USB-C device.
- Test the card reader with a different USB-C port or a different compatible device to rule out port or device issues.
- Verify that your device's operating system is up-to-date and supports external storage devices.
Slow Data Transfer:
- Ensure both your Micro SD card and your USB-C device support USB 3.0 speeds for optimal performance.
- Avoid running multiple demanding applications during large file transfers.
Overheating:
- As mentioned in Maintenance, it is normal for the zinc alloy casing to become warm during operation due to its heat dissipation properties. If the device becomes excessively hot and causes performance issues, discontinue use and allow it to cool down.
Phone Case Interference:
- The SD card reader supports phone cases within 1.8mm/0.07 inches thickness. Thicker cases may prevent a proper connection.
