Power On/Off

The Reader cannot turn on.

The Reader cannot be operated if connected to your computer and set to data transfer mode. Use the safely remove hardware function of your computer, and then disconnect the USB cable from the Reader.

Moisture condensation may have occurred. Wait for a few hours and then turn on the Reader.

If the battery is completely depleted, power will not be supplied to the (Power) button, and you may not be able to turn on the Reader. In this case, connect the Reader to your computer via the supplied USB cable; the Reader will turn on immediately. If the Reader does not turn
