4. Operating Instructions
The uni SD Card Reader allows for efficient data management.
- Reading Data: Once the card is inserted and the reader is connected, navigate to the drive letter assigned to the card reader in your file explorer. You can then open, view, or copy files from the memory card to your computer.
- Writing Data: To transfer files from your computer to the memory card, simply drag and drop the desired files into the card's folder in your file explorer.
- Simultaneous Operation: You can insert both an SD card and a Micro SD card at the same time.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your uni SD Card Reader, please refer to the following common solutions:

Try a different memory card. Check if the card type is supported (refer to specifications). The card might need reformatting (Warning: This will erase all data!). |
