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.

• LED blinks continuously:

The reader is transferring data between the memory card and computer. Once it stops blinking, the data transfer is complete.
