LED Activity Light
The LED activity light was specifically designed to safeguard the files stored on
your memory card, preventing interrupted file transfer, and reducing 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.
