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.

1Insert 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.

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

3When 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.

WARNING: Do not try to remove media when the in-use light is blinking. Doing so may cause loss of data.
