The radar unit uses an SD Memory card for operational functions. These memory devices can suffer corruption if power is removed unexpectedly during key operational stages of use.

Users are warned that once power is applied to the unit it should not be removed within the first 2.5 minutes of power on, in order to allow the system to complete its boot cycle.

In addition, power to the unit should not be removed during or for 30 seconds after firmware upgrades or configuration changes made from within Vertex.
