You can clean the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

The LED indicator light shows that the reader is powered on and also signals the status of file transfers, typically indicating active data movement.

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the reader and the computer. Try a different USB-C port on your computer. Verify that your computer's operating system and drivers are up to date. Confirm your computer has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port for full speed functionality, though it should still work at lower speeds on compatible USB-C ports.

To achieve maximum speeds of 20 Gb/s, ensure you are using a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port on your computer and that your operating system and drivers support this standard. Using a slower USB port (e.g., USB 3.0 or 3.1) will result in lower transfer speeds.

Check the USB-C cable connection for security. Ensure the memory card is properly seated in the reader. Avoid physically moving or disturbing the reader or cable during transfer. If using a USB hub, try connecting the reader directly to the computer. Make sure the Write-Protect Switch is not accidentally engaged, which can sometimes cause recognition issues.

Safely eject the card from the reader and your computer before removing it. Ensure the Write-Protect Switch was in the correct position during transfer. Try inserting the card into another reader or device to test its functionality.
