Insert microSD¶

First, remove power to the SNAPconnect E20. Remove the access cover on the rear of the SNAPconnect E20, and insert the microSD card into the microSD card slot.

Slide the microSD card carrier toward the bottom of the unit (away from the antenna end) about a sixteenth of an inch (1.5 mm). Open the card carrier frame, which is hinged at the top (antenna end) edge. Insert your microSD card, contacts first, with the contacts exposed. Close the card carrier frame, and slide it toward the top of the unit to lock the card in place.

Use microSD to restore E20¶

Hold the button marked S4, apply power, and release the button.

LEDs 1, 2, and 3 will turn from amber to red when the restore process is in progress. This can take up to 5 minutes or more, depending on factors such as the speed of your microSD card.

The three LEDs will turn green, indicating that the process is complete. Disconnect power from the SNAPconnect E20, remove the microSD card, and reinstall the access cover.

Your SNAPconnect E20 is now restored and ready to use.
