Operation

Warning! Please do not touch the connector on the back

of the carrier. Internal damage could result from electro-

static discharge.

Warning! The DataPort 25 SL is not interchangeable with

any other DataPort 25 products. Due to size limitations

the DataPort 25 SL carrier will not ﬁt properly into other

DataPort 25 frames. Any attempt to do so could result in

the loss of data. The DataPort 25 SL frame will only sup-

port the DataPort 25 SL carrier. Any other carrier will not ﬁt

properly into the DataPort 25 SL and could damage it.
