 Files
Memory
Display Stationary CorrReader uses a MicroSD card to store programmed settings and
data which must be installed for the CorrReader to function. To access the data,
turn the Stationary CorrReader on and connect to the computer with a USB
Power
cable. The SD card will appear as a drive on the computer and files can be copied
off and on to the card.
The SD card contains three types of files, a configuration file, calibration file and
data files.

prevent damage.
Batteries
CorrReader is powered by an internal lithium ion battery. Battery is charged by
the USB port, 5V 500mA input. The CorrReader must be powered ON to charge.
The CorrReader will stay on and log continuously until the Power button is
pressed to turn it off or the battery is discharged.
If the CorrReader is stored for extended periods, it may not turn on. Plug the
CorrReader in for 24 hours and it will begin to work again. Always fully charge
the battery before putting it in storage to prevent problems.

Use a maximum USB cable length of 2m (6’)
