Introduction
The Reader features a built-in Hi-Speed USB 2.0 3-Port Hub. It enables
you to connect USB devices with a critical advantage over traditional USB
2.0 hubs. That is its implementation of the new “Quad TT” architecture,
which enables each of the Hub’s three downstream ports to deliver a full
12Mbps of USB bandwidth for low- and full-speed devices, while providing
total support for Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices. This is especially important
when connecting multiple, bandwidth-intensive, full-speed devices such as
USB webcams, speakers, scanners, and external storage devices.

Safe Removal of Media Cards and Readers
All versions of Windows
1.
Do not remove your media card from the Reader while data is being
read or written to the card. Doing so could corrupt the media card
resulting in a loss of data. The correct way to remove the card
is to double-click on “My Computer”, and then right-click on the
drive and select “Eject” from the list. Depending on your operating
system, this feature may not prompt you that the “Eject” was done.
However, after clicking on “Eject”, you can remove the card without
corrupting the files on the card.
2.
To safely remove a Reader from your computer, click on the “Unplug
or Eject Hardware” icon found in the right-hand corner of the
Windows task bar. Failure to follow this step could result in the loss
or corruption of data stored on your media card.
