You can place media in one or more of the card slots and use each media
independently. Place only one piece of media in a slot at one time.

Each card slot has its own drive letter and icon. When you insert media, the
display label may change to the title of the media, if the title is present.

special note about the safely remove hardware utility

CAUTION: Do not click Stop in the Safely Remove Hardware
window with the USB Mass Storage Device selected. Doing so
removes the operating system recognition of the 7-In-1 memory
card reader from your PC; you must restart the PC to see your
memory card reader again.

If you open the Safely Remove Hardware window by mistake, click Close.

using the 7-in-1 memory card reader

NOTE:

CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted

incorrectly. Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.

For the two-slot reader, the Secure Digital (SD) card, the MultiMediaCard
(MMC), and the Memory Stick (MS) card must be inserted upside down (gold
connector fingers facing up). Note the direction of the notched corner on the
media.

1 Insert the media into the card slot until it stops. The in-use light (A) on the

card reader lights, and the PC automatically detects the media.

2 The PC opens a window so you can use the media contents. You can copy

files from or to the media.

3 When you are done, right-click the drive icon, select Eject, check that the

in-use light is on but not blinking, and then remove the media. A steady light
indicates that the PC is not reading or writing the media.
