ROUTE MEMORY STICK
Initializing the Memory Stick
The memory stick must be initially matched to the handheld
before a route can be loaded.
OTE:N If you need to change the handheld Device Name,
change the Device Name before you initialize the
memory stick for the handheld.
1. Insert a blank memory stick into the USB port at the
bottom of the handheld.
2. A message displays asking if you want to "initialize"
the memory stick.
Tap Yes to initialize the memory stick.
Incorrect Memory Stick
Each memory stick is prepared for use with a single
handheld. A memory stick that has been initialized with a
handheld cannot be used on another handheld.
When you insert the memory stick into the USB port at the
bottom of the handheld, a message displays to alert you that
the memory stick you are attempting to use was prepared for
another handheld as shown here.
Tap OK to close the screen and contact the reading data
management operator to secure the correct memory stick.
Wireless Load and Unload
