Connecting to Memory Sticks, Card Readers and Memory Cards

There are a wide variety of memory devices which can be used for copying les from

one PC to another. These include memory sticks (ash memory), smart memory,

memory cards, portable hard disk drives, etc. Most of these devices can connect to

the USB ports on the VOT530. Flash memory cards have become one of the most

convenient and popular methods of media storage for digital cameras, MP3 players,

PDAs, and mobile phones.

Once you insert a memory device to your system, a notication will appear at the

lower right corner of your screen telling you the system has detected new hardware

in your system. The notication will also show the icon which is associated with the

hardware device.

To copy les from a memory stick to your system, simply plug the memory stick into

one of the USB ports on the rear panel of your system or USB hub.

Notes:

1. To prevent damaging your memory stick inadvertently, you are suggested to

“uninstall” the memory stick by clicking on the “safely remove hardware” icon at

the lower right corner of the Windows task bar.

2. Never remove the memory stick while your system is formatting, reading or writing

data to the device.

3. Never turn off the power abruptly while your system is formatting, reading or writing

data to the device.

4. Read the operating instructions which come with your memory device carefully

before using it.

Connecting Your System

ViewSonic VOT530

Once you insert a memory device to your system, a balloon will appear at the lower

right corner of your screen, telling you that the system has detected that a new

hardware was installed to the system. The balloon will also show the icon which is

associated with the hardware device (memory). You should click that icon after you

have nished copying les to or from the memory device.

After detection of the new memory device, the Windows operating system will prompt

you to install the software driver for that device. Simply follow the instructions to

complete the installation process. After the software driver has been installed, you

can copy les from the system hard disk drive to the memory device, or from the

memory device to the system hard disk drive.
