Note:
It has to be taken care of a suitable protection from direct sunlight because the synthetic
materials are not 100% UV resistant. Fading simply is an optical defect which does not
restrict the function of the device.
!
Caution:
Pleas keep in mind that MasterIV terminals use a flash memory. According to the manu-
facturer each memory sector (512 byte) can be written to a maximum of 100,000 times.
The firmware of the terminals distributes the access to the memory sectors, this tech-
nique is called wear levelling. Bad blocks in case of write or read failures are not used
anymore. However, despite this technique it is not advisable to write the memory too
frequently. The application should initialize a new list transfer only after a change of the
list data but not cyclically.
Keep in mind the message - FlashService - in the display of the device. It
means that the live time of the flash memory according to the manufacturer
instruction will be reached soon. Then the device has to be sent to Datafox for
service.

rent) before commissioning the system.
