Get Started

Insert storage card into the corresponding slot on the Plugable Flash Memory Card Reader. Ensure that it is inserted with the correct orientation.
Plug the USB connector of the card reader into the host system.

This device uses the pre-existing USB Mass Storage Drivers on your host system, so should be completely plug-and-play. Please note, though, that not all Android 4.x systems have USB Mass Storage support: The Google Nexus 7 is one notable example that lacks this capability.
