SD Card Slot
The DataMan 360 reader is equipped with a Micro SD card. This Micro SD card is located in a slot on the rear side of the
reader.
The Micro SD card can be installed to read and write system configuration and identity, so automatic backup and restore
is done using the Micro SD card.
Note: The SD cards used with DataMan 360 must be FAT16 or FAT32 formatted SDHC cards.
Unscrew the small screw in the SD card cover to open the slot.
WARNING:Hot plugging the SD card is not supported and may lead to unexpected behavior. The SD card has to
be present already at the boot phase. Do not pull out the SD card during operation.
Note: If the SD card is not inserted, the Use SD Card for Backup feature is disabled and grayed out in Setup Tool.
Note: If the SD card is inserted, but the file system is not supported, the error LED will be on and the system log will
contain an error message.
