9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not recognized by computer/smartphone. | Loose connection, incompatible port, driver issue. | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected. Try a different USB-C port or a different device. Restart your computer/smartphone. No specific drivers are usually needed for plug-and-play devices. |
| Memory card not detected. | Card not fully inserted, damaged card, incompatible card format. | Ensure the card is fully and correctly inserted into its slot. Try a different memory card to check if the reader is functional. Check if the card is formatted correctly for your device (e.g., FAT32, exFAT). |
| Slow data transfer speed. | Connected to a USB 2.0 port, old/slow memory card, large file transfers. | Ensure the DK10 is connected to a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Type-C port for optimal speed. Use high-speed memory cards (UHS-I/II compatible). Transferring many small files can be slower than a few large files. |
| Tray difficult to slide. | Dust/debris, misaligned cards. | Check for any obstructions or misaligned cards within the tray. Gently clean the tracks if visible debris is present. |
