Front-end Configuration Step 2: Connect the Frame E) If you are going to use LAN‐XI Notar™ BZ‐7848‐A (with or without Sonoscout™ BZ‐5950‐A), insert a mini‐SD card or a micro‐SD card with an adaptor (if not already done). F) Align the prongs on the frame with the holes at the back of the assembled input module and battery unit. Insert carefully. Magnets hold the frame into place. To ensure connection during use, you should screw the frame securely into place. G) At the side of the frame is a hex key, remove it and pull open the frame. H) Using the hex key, turn the captive screw in the middle of the frame until it is tightened. I) Close the frame and place the hex key back into place. With Sonoscout, use of an SD card is not mandatory. You can also stream recorded data directly to the mobile device’s internal storage.
