Removing the Memory Card
If a read/write access is underway to the memory card, wait until it is finished.
Then remove the memory card(s) carefully from the memory card slot.
If the memory card is removed during a read/write access, the data on the
memory card can be damaged. It is possible that the memory card will have
to be formatted again afterwards.
The same applies, if the USB connection is disconnected or the wall plug
transformer or the power supply for the card reader/USB hub are turned off.
Connection/Disconnection of USB Devices
• USB devices can be plugged in and unplugged while the PC is in use. This means
that you do not have to switch off your computer, when you want to plug in or unplug
devices (with other interfaces this can cause damage, e.g. if you connect or dis-
connect a PS/2 mouse during operation).
If data transfers are in progress on the USB port, e.g. if an external disk is inputting
data to the computer, and you unplug the USB plug, Windows might crash and oth-
er data may also be damaged!
For some USB2.0 devices (e.g. USB hard disk), Windows XP/Vista displays an icon
with an arrow in the menu bar. You can „separate" the USB device from the com-
puter using this function, and thus instruct the computer to close open files.
Afterwards, the USB device can be unplugged safely.
• When a USB device is connected for the first time, Windows may start the hardware
recognition, and a driver may have to be installed depending on the USB device.
You should use the same USB port for connecting USB devices, otherwise the hard-
ware recognition might be performed again and as a result the driver installation will
be repeated.
• The LED located next to the appropriate USB port lights up, when a USB device is
connected and recognised.
Tips & Notes
a) USB card reader
• Ensure that the read-only access (slide switch on the memory card; if available) is
in the off position, when deleting from, or writing to, SD/MS memory cards.
• It is preferable to use USB 2.0 port for connecting the card reader.
The maximum data rate used by USB1.1 is only 800 kByte/s.
With USB 2.0, more Mbyte/s are possible, depending on the speed of your memo-
ry card! Therefore, for a faster transfer you should always connect the card read-
er/USB hub to a USB2.0 port (great time savings during data transfer to and from
the memory card or to a USB2.0 device connected to the USB hub).
• Always remove the memory card from the card reader, before switching off the com-
puter.
b) USB hub
• The USB2.0 hub is USB1.1 compatible. This means that normal USB1.1 devices
can be used with no problems on the USB2.0 Hub. However, this will not speed up
the USB1.1 devices!
Should your computer still have USB1.1 and USB 2.0 ports (all modern computers
only have USB2.0 interfaces), always connect the device to a USB2.0 port on the
computer, in order to use the higher transfer rate.
• Normally, USB operation is not possible in DOS or in the protected mode of
Windows.
Nevertheless, depending on the computer or BIOS /Setup settings, it possible to use
a USB keyboard and a USB mouse. It is necessary, however, to connect them
directly to the computer's USB interface, i.e. not to the USB Hub.
Disposal
Electrical/ electronic products must not be disposed of in the domestic
waste.
Dispose of the product at the end of its serviceable life in accordance with
the current statutory requirements; e. g. return it to any suitable collection
point.
