Troubleshooting

I can't access the data stored on my cards
If you're experiencing issues when you try to access the data stored
on your memory card, consider the following:
• Some operating systems may not support all file formats. Make
sure that the operating system you're using supports the type of
memory card and the files that you're trying to access.
• If you insert multiple memory cards into the FCREADU3C, you
won't be able to access the data stored on the cards at the same
time. Make sure that you only insert one memory card in the card
reader.
Note: The FCREADU3C prioritizes card access based on the most
recent memory card that was inserted.
