IMPORTANT

For optimum performance, regularly check available space on your
microSD card and ensure that the card is exclusively used for the
Micro800 controller and no unnecessary files are present. Regularly
delete old datalog files and directories.

IMPORTANT

Do not remove the microSD card or power down while operations such as
upload, download, delete, search, backup and restore are ongoing to
prevent data loss. A blinking SD status LED indicates that these
operations are ongoing.

IMPORTANT

To prevent data loss, recipe and datalog function blocks must indicate
Idle status before microSD card is removed.
