Mass Storge Device mode allows a user to connect to a USB host (e.g., a laptop)
to operate with programs like StarUtil 3000 and to download data from the internal
2GB memory device. The SF-3050 2GB internal memory chip shows in Windows
Explorer as an additional (removable) drive, similar to a camera when connected to
the USB port. The desired files can then be located on the 2GB drive. Copy and
paste (or drag and drop) them to the desired directory on the laptop.
