SD Card (sold separately)
The SD card can store various files, such as
model data, music, sound files and pictures. Any
SD card on the market can be used with the
T18MZ. The card is locked when it is pushed in all
the way in. To remove the card, push in on the card
again, it will pop up allowing you to remove it.
Warning
Be sure to turn off the power to the transmitter
before inserting or removing the SD card.
As the SD card is a precision device, do not use
excessive force when inserting.
If model data generated by a new software
version transmitter is copied to an old software
version transmitter, the transmitter may
operate erroneously. Copy the model data after
updating the copy destination transmitter to the
new software version.
Read data from a PC
Saving music and image files edited by a PC
into the SD card, you can use those files on your
T18MZ transmitter. Equipment for reading and
writing SD cards are available at most electronics
stores.
Stored data
The life of the SD card is limited due to the use
of Flash memory. If you have a problem saving or
reading data such as picture data after a long period
of use you may need to purchase a new SD card.
*We are not responsible for, and cannot compensate for any
failure to the data stored in the memory card for any reason.
Be sure to keep a backup of your models and data in your
SD card.
*No necessity for backup; T18MZ transmitters and SD
cards are using nonvolatile memory devices so that the data
stored in those will not be destroyed even without a backup
battery. The clock for the transmitter depends on the Lithium
battery.
