9. A message displays asking if you want to replace the current route with the backup route. Tap Yes to replace the
current route with the backup route.
10. The backup route le screen displays briey and the Main Menu opens.
Result: The backup route is now available and may be unloaded. For help, see "Unloading a Route" onpage87.
Route Unload Error
When trying to unload a route from the handheld, the memory stick should be empty – no other route info should be on the
stick. If there is another route, the unload process will not automatically occur.
If you encounter this error, delete the files on the memory stick that are located in the TO_CONNECT folder.
To delete the files on the memory stick
1. Insert the memory stick into the USB port on a laptop or other computer to view the les.
2. Open the TO_CONNECT folder.
3. Select all the les and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
4. Remove the memory stick from the computer.
When the files are deleted, the memory stick can be used to unload the route on the handheld.
