Title: 898c SI Snapshot/Recording issues
Post by: tracker01 on July 16, 2013, 11:27:38 AM: I am trying to mainly use my 898c SI to capture screen snapshots of habitat. With the function turned on and a SD card inserted the only the I get is a message of "Successfully Saved" though there isn't an image on the card or in the view images page. When trying to test the recording function I get an error of "Error creating file. Recording has stopped."

I was able to update the software on the unit using a SD card. Unit seems to be reading the SD cards as it shows almost full memory available on the diagnostic view screen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick response. I am glad I found this website, as I got a quick response from it. While I am still waiting on an phone call/email communication.

The SD Association has the same formatting software too if that will help get it through IT:

Post by: GillWill on May 16, 2015, 11:57:03 PM: To follow up on my last post about the 898 unit freezing up and long beeps.... Apparently the SD card became corrupted somehow while in the unit, I sorta believe it was due to operating the unit while battery voltage fell below the operational level. (Not exactly sure what the exact minimum voltage is for the unit). Anyway, after updating the software, formatting the SD card (16GB) and having a fully charged battery the unit worked like a charm.
