Abstract
In a data carrier (2) for contactless communication of storage data (SD) with a reader station (1), a recovery device (13) is provided, with which, following an unexpected abort of the storing of storage data (SD) in a memory (11) by virtue of a lack of supply voltage, a valid storage state can be restored in memory (11). For this purpose, any storage locations that are only weakly stored in memory (11) will be read, and the read-out storage data (SD) will be re-stored in the memory (11).
