Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our product. This product is exclusively for reading and writing data to an xD-Picture Card
(hereinafter referred to as "card"). You can transfer large amounts of data to and from the card quickly and easily using a

Precautions
● Before using the MAUSB-100, make sure there is adequate space around the computer so that the MAUSB-100 can

● Do not release the hold switch, remove the card, disconnect the MAUSB-100 or set the write-protect switch while the
red status lamp is lit. Doing so may destroy data on the card or damage the card.
● If you do not use the provided utility software when formatting a card in the MAUSB-100 with the connected computer,
the card may not be recognized by the digital camera. Re-format the card with the digital camera or with the
