Base unit slots

Slot 1 is located on the left side and is typically used for communication and memory
modules. Slot 2 is located on the right side and is typically used for the RTC module. A small
1 or 2 is located on the face of the option module to indicate the slot the module may be
placed in.
To prevent ingress of dirt and dust, the option module slots are normally covered with a
blank. To remove a blank or module, squeeze the two tabs together and pull the blank or
module from the base unit. After inserting a module or blank, ensure it is latched in place by
pressing the two tabs outward.
NOTE:
Never operate the Nanoline base unit without either a blank or option module installed in
the slots.
When the blank is removed, the option module may be inserted into the slot. When installing
modules ensure that:
– the module is being placed in the correct slot – Slot 1 only accepts modules with 1 on
the lower right corner, and Slot 2 only accepts modules with 2 on the lower left corner.
– the module is oriented properly – text must be oriented the same as other text on the
face of the base unit.
– the tabs are properly seated to secure the module in the base unit.
