If not, it means the device detection fails. Please contact your technical support and ignore the following steps 3. If no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon, please go forward to the next step. If a cross sign appears, please check out the followings: a. Is it really a SD "Memory" Card? b. Is this SD card formatted with the FAT16 format? c. Connect the SD card with a PC and, test whether the PC can read the data or not? d. Does this SD card still have capacity for storing data? e. Is the SD card set to be writable? If all the answers are "yes" but the cross sign still exists, please contact your technical support and ignore the following steps. 4. Please make sure the function of "SD CARD ENABLE" is enabled on ALARM and SCHEDULE pages if no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon on the screen. 5. After recording, read the data through web page of "sdget.htm".
