What's the purpose of the Write-Protect Switch of the Angelbird card readers and how can I use it?

Basic facts

Always ensure you've activated the Write-Protect-Switch during the offloading process. It protects against unintended file deletion and keeps your system from writing unwanted data files to your card.

To properly set the Write-Protection Switch, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure your card reader is safely ejected.
  2. Disconnect the reader from your host (e.g. computer).
  3. Move the switch to the "on/lock" position.
  4. Reconnect the card reader with your host.
  5. Insert your memory card back into the reader.
