IV. Advanced Functions of the EKP-IV

This section will review backing up your User Data and transfer of data via a serial connection.

A. FILE MANAGER

The EKP-IV has a File Manager that makes it possible to save User Data (Waypoints, Flight Plans and

Tracks) to the Compact Flash card. This is especially useful when switching CF cards for different

software versions, or when updating the software or map data on the CF cards. Your data can

be copied, temporarily, to your PC then reloaded onto your new CF-card using an off the shelf

Compact Flash Reader. If the update is not done properly, it can result in loss of the User Data. To

get to the File Manager press MENU twice from the Moving Map, then select DATABASES, then

FILE MANAGER.

The first time you use File Manager, you will need to initialize the CF card. Initializing the CF card

sets aside a small block of memory for storage of User Data. To do this, press MENU and select

INITIALIZE. A warning will appear advising you that initializing will wipe out all data on the CF

card, but it is only erasing any previously stored user data. The map and aeronautical data will not

be removed.

Once the CF card has been initialized, it is now ready for data storage. To save a file, press ZOOM

IN, then enter the name in the space provided, press ENTER and select the type of file (Routes,

Track, Waypoints) and then ENTER again to confirm.
