Inserting and Removing Your SD Card

automatically reset itself.
To remove the SD card, go to the menu screen and select “Remove
SD Card”. Wait until you see a green check mark, then push the SD
card in gently, then release. Removing the SD card before you see
the green check mark may corrupt the data on the SD card.

Different brands of SD cards have substantially different speeds. Your PQube requires Sandisk

brand SD cards, purchased directly from Power Standards Lab. Your PQube supports SD cards with
capacities of up to 8 Gigabytes.
When your SD card becomes nearly full, your PQube will automatically delete the oldest month of
data. However, if you wish to preserve your old data, you can choose to stop recording data when
the SD card nears full capacity by editing the Behavior_When_SD_Card_is_Full tag in your Setup.ini
file.
