4.11.2 Instructions on using USB memory devices
The safety of data stored on USB memory devices depends on the quality of
the memory device and the data transmission.
Data is stored partly or not at all if for example:
z The power supply of the external memory device is interrupted during the
write process, or
z The external memory device is prematurely disconnected from the
photometer during the data backup.
To prevent a data loss we recommend the following:
z Save all data internally in the photometer first.
z After performing a backup leave the USB memory device connected to the
photometer for some time.
z Check whether the stored data is complete, e.g. on a PC.
z Use the USB memory device for data transport but not for permanent data
storage.
