Troubleshooting: LED flash codes

Notes:
•
If you mistakenly plug an imp card into a slot intended for an SD memory card (for example, in a PC or camera),
the card will do nothing. This will not damage either the device or the imp card.
•
Do not plug SD memory cards into imp slots. Although this should not damage the memory card, it is possible
you may see erratic behavior from the imp-enabled device.
