3. Setup

The UGREEN USB C SD 4.0 Card Reader is designed for simple plug-and-play operation.

3.1 Inserting a Memory Card

1. Remove the protective cap from the desired connector (USB-A or USB-C).
2. Plug the card reader into an available USB-A or USB-C port on your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
3. Your device's operating system should automatically detect the card reader and the inserted memory card. A new drive letter or icon will appear, indicating successful connection.

4. Operating Instructions

Once connected, the card reader functions like any external storage device.

4.1 Data Transfer

1. Open the detected drive on your computer or device.
2. Drag and drop files to and from the memory card, or use copy/paste functions.

4.2 OTG Functionality (for Mobile Devices)

For compatible smartphones and tablets with OTG (On-The-Go) functionality, the card reader allows direct access to memory card content without a computer.

1. Ensure your mobile device supports OTG.

3. Access files through your device's file manager application.

4.3 Safe Removal

Always safely eject the card reader from your operating system before physically disconnecting it to prevent data corruption.

• Windows: Right-click the drive icon in 'This PC' or the taskbar icon, then select 'Eject'.
• macOS: Drag the drive icon to the Trash, or click the Eject button next to the drive in Finder.
• Android/iOS: Use the 'Eject' or 'Unmount' option in your device's file manager or settings, if available.

5. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your UGREEN USB C SD 4.0 Card Reader.

• Keep Clean: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the card reader. Avoid liquid cleaners.
• Protect Connectors: Always use the provided protective caps when the card reader is not in use to prevent dust and debris from entering the USB-A and USB-C ports.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Storage: Store the card reader in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its compact size makes it easy to store in a bag or pocket.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your card reader, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the card reader is fully inserted into the USB port.
  • Try a different USB port on your device.
  • Test the card reader on another computer or compatible device to rule out a port issue.
  • Restart your computer or mobile device.
• Memory Card Not Detected:
  • Ensure the memory card is correctly and fully inserted into its slot.
  • Try a different memory card to check if the issue is with the card itself.
  • Verify the memory card is not damaged or corrupted.
• Slow Data Transfer Speed:
  • Ensure your computer's USB port supports USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 (often indicated by a blue port or SS symbol). Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower speeds.
  • Confirm your memory card is a high-speed card (e.g., UHS-II for 312 MB/s). Lower class cards will have slower transfer rates.
  • Avoid running multiple demanding applications during large file transfers.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Ensure the connection is stable and the card reader is not being jostled.
  • Check for any physical damage to the connectors or the card reader itself.
