Installation Instructions for
MMC/SD Card Reader
For USB
These instructions will help you install your LEI Card Reader on your computer. The card reader (sometimes called a card reader/writer or card programmer) is designed for use with a USB port.
This device acts like an additional removable disk drive under Microsoft Windows operating systems. It can read MMC (MultiMediaCard) and SD (Secure Digital or SDC) cards. These are solid-state flash memory devices about the size of a postage stamp.
NOTE:
You must install the card reader using the provided drivers. If your computer is running Windows ME/2000/XP, Windows will offer to install the reader using drivers already available from Microsoft.
Do not use the drivers provided by Microsoft. Using Microsoft's default drivers will prevent MapCreate 6.3 from communicating correctly with the card reader.
If you have an older Lowrance model USB Card Reader, you should reinstall it using the drivers provided, as described in the original documentation. (Copies of the Lowrance drivers are also on the MapCreate 6.3 CDs, under "Other Drivers.")
Minimum requirements are: a computer equipped with a USB port; Microsoft Windows operating system versions 98/ME/2000/XP.
NOTE:
If your computer does not have a USB port, call our customer service phone number on the back of this instruction sheet. We can exchange your USB card reader for a parallel port MMC reader. The parallel port version does not read SD cards.
WINDOWS 98 CAUTION:
Some older PCs running Windows 98 or Windows 98SE may have hardware issues that cause conflicts with USB ports.
Some of the symptoms include Windows shut down problems or the system locks-up while performing various functions.
If you experience these problems after installing your card reader, uninstall the card reader and its driver software. Then visit the web site www.usbman.com for possible solutions.
NOTE: Install the driver first, before plugging in the device.

2.Insert the CD-ROM containing the drivers into your CD drive. (If you purchased the card reader along with MapCreate 6, insert any MapCreate disc.)
3.Click START|RUN.
4.Type D:\USB-MMC Reader\Setup.exe (where D: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM).
5.Click OK to begin installation.
6.Follow the on-screen instructions.
7.When the installation program is finished, shut-down your computer. Next, plug the reader into a USB port and turn your computer back on.
8.As Windows starts, you will see it find your new hardware and software. After the "new hardware" messages disappear, your reader is installed. You can now transfer files to and from your MMC card or SD card. You can also format your cards. Windows will display your MMC reader as a removable disk drive.
MMC card reader appears as removable disk drive (H:) in this example.
