Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Lexar Media’s USB-Enabled JumpShot connectiv-
ity kit, the easiest and quickest way to transfer digital photos from your
camera to your PC or MAC. JumpShot permits you to read and write from
your USB-Enabled CompactFlash card using the USB port of your computer.
Please note the following items when using JumpShot:
■
While the USB-Enabled CompactFlash card is compatible with all
CompactFlash slots, the JumpShot cable works ONLY with cards with the
“USB-Enabled” icon on the front label.
■
Similar to any removable device such as floppy disks or PC Cards, DO
NOT remove the CompactFlash card while it is being accessed by
Windows (the green activity indicator is blinking).
■
Windows98: Close any files that are opened and reside on the
CompactFlash card.
■
MAC: CompactFlash card must be “ejected” or unmounted by dragging
the card’s disk icon into the trash.
