LED Activity Light
The reader's LED activity light was
specifically designed to safeguard the files
stored on your memory card, prevent
interrupted file transfers, and reduce the risk
of data loss or card damage. The light acts
as a status indicator to help ensure proper
use of the reader.
LED Indicators:
LED off: The reader
is plugged into the
computer but does not
have a card inserted.
LED on: The reader is
plugged into the computer
and has recognized that a memory card has
been inserted. This also means that no
data is being transferred.
LED blinks twice on initial card insertion:
The reader has detected the memory card.

transferring data between the memory
