●INSTALLATION & CONNECTION
INSERTING/REMOVING AN SD MEMORY CARD
Inserting an SD Memory Card
Push the SD memory card in the direction of the arrow shown in the diagram.
Do not insert the SD memory card while it’s upside down by force. Otherwise, it may damage the
SD memory card.
Removing an SD Memory Card
Gently press down on the exposed end of the memory card as shown in the diagram to
eject the memory card from the slot.
Pressing too hard on the SD memory card can cause the card to shoot out uncontrollably from the
slot when released.
To remove the SD memory card, set <Record> to <Off> from <SD record> and press [Apply
( )]. (page 53)
If you have saved data in the SD memory card, removing the SD memory card prior to setting
record to OFF will cause damage to the data stored in the card.
If the SD memory is inserted and when record is on, the SD LED indicator on the rear of the
network encoder will turn on.
If there occurs a problem in the SD memory, the SD LED indicator will blink.

MEMORY CARD INFORMATION (NOT INCLUDED)
What is a memory card?
The memory card is an external data storage device that has been developed to offer an
entirely new way to record and share video, audio, and text data using digital devices.
Selecting a memory card that’s suitable for you
Your network encoder supports SDHC memory cards.
You may, however, experience compatibility issues depending on the model and make of
the memory card.
For your network encoder, we recommend you use a memory card from the following
manufacturers:
SDHC/SD Memory Card : Sandisk, Transcend
Playback performance can be affected depending on the speed of memory card, so use
the high-speed memory card.
Memory Card Use
SD and SDHC memory cards feature a switch that disables writing data on to the media.
Having this switch to the Lock position will prevent accidental deletion of data stored in the
memory card but at the same time will also prevent you from writing data on to the media.
