Introduction
Congratulations!
You have just purchased the Dazzle ZiO!™ Hi-Speed Por table Reader/Writer.
The Dazzle ZiO! Hi-Speed Portable Reader/Writer (also referred to as ZiO HS Reader/
Writer throughout this guide) is designed for people on the go who have digital cameras or
other digital devices like MP3 players, mobile phones and PDAs that use digital media.
Your ZiO HS Reader/Writer addresses the two most important needs for mobile professionals, durability and speed. When you flip your ZiO HS Reader/Writer into the open position, the sleek and lightweight device can be connected directly to your computer’s USB
port for digital media access or can be connected with a supplied USB cable. When flipped
into the closed position, the ZiO HS Reader/Writer covers both an inserted digital media
card and the USB connector, turning the device into a durable yet highly portable digital
media carr ying case.
You can connect your ZiO HS Reader/Writer to computers with USB 1.1 ports or USB 2.0
ports. Computers with USB 2.0 ports will utilize the ZiO HS Reader/Writer’s Hi-Speed
transfer capability, moving data at a much faster rate than computers with USB 1.1 ports.

®
II, including IBM
and Memory Stick® (including MagicGate™). Included with the ZiO HS Reader/Writer is
