Using an external
memory device
You can load a configuration file stored in a
commercially-available external memory device
(USB memory stick or microSD card) to the product
to change settings. This is convenient when you
want to change the settings of multiple units of
the product.
NOTE
• External memory devices used for the product must
be formatted in FAT or FAT32.
• You cannot use a USB hub to connect two or more
USB memory sticks or other external memory
devices to the product.

able to work normally. Use the USB memory stick by
inserting it directly into the USB port of the product.

external device. Before removing the external device,

two seconds and make sure that the USB lamp or
microSD lamp has gone off.
