Troubleshooting SD Card Write Protection Errors
Checking and Unlocking the SD Card
The machine stores all ECG files on a 2GB SD card located at the back of the device. This card has a lock switch that prevents files from being changed or deleted. Sometimes, the card may be accidentally locked or become write-protected due to other factors.
Important Note:
This device only supports 2GB SD cards. Higher-capacity cards will not function and should not be used.
Possible Causes of SD Card Write Protection:
- The lock switch on the SD card is in the locked position.
- The SD card is physically damaged or worn out.
- The file system is corrupted due to improper removal or power loss.
How to Check if the SD Card is Locked:
- Eject the SD card from the back of the machine.
- Locate the small switch on the top left corner of the card.
- If the switch is all the way down or in the middle, the card is locked and write-protected.
How to Unlock the SD Card:
- Gently slide the switch all the way to the top to unlock it.
- Reinsert the SD card back into the machine.
