5.Instructions for 3G Card & TF Card

The 3G card, memory card and the card connectors on the device are precisionelectroniccomponents. When inserting the 3G card or memory card into the card connectors, you much insert after aligning to the position accurately in case of damaging the components. When removing the 3G card or memory card, please slightly push the upper edge of the card to loosen the card, then pull it out.

The memory card will get heat after long time working. It is a normal phenomenon.

The data stored on the memory card may be damaged if the card is not used correctly, or the power is cut off or the card is pulled out when reading data.

If you don’t use 3G card correctly, or cutting off the power or pulling out the 3G card during the operation, the network will be interrupted automatically.

If you do not use micro SD card for a long time, please put it into packing box or bag.

Insert the memory card as shown in below picture,

Find the location of the 3G card or memory card slot on the unit, then push the 3G card or Micro SD card with the part of the metal contacts outward until it snaps into the location.

Do not force to Insert the 3G card or memory card to avoid damaging the card.

Please do NOT insert micro SD card into 3G card slot improperly, otherwise, the micro SD will be very difficult to be taken out, or may even be damaged.

Maximum 8G micro SD supported (supporting hot-swappable).

Testing method: In thestateofpower-on, the screen will automatically display the TF card content after inserting the TF card, the screen will automatically close its window when pulling out the TF card, its path is under “/media/TF card name/”.

Operation for TF card

Once power-on, the screen will automatically display the TF card content after inserting the TF card, its path is under “/media/TF card name/”. Shown as below,
