when
the radio is powered on and connected to the computer.
You can also connect the MicroSD Card to an external reader, which may provide faster data transfer
rates when compared to accessing the card while it is in the radio.
Inserting and removing the MicroSD Card
To remove the MicroSD Card from the PRO-18, turn the radio off using the POWER button on the front
of the radio.
WARNING: To prevent corrupted data on the MicroSD Card, always turn PRO-18 off using the front
panel power key before opening the battery compartment cover.
Locate the side of the radio with the USB cable jack. Note the “MICRO SD” label on the side of the
battery compartment cover. When the battery compartment cover is removed, the MicroSD Card can
be found underneath of this label. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing gently where
the door is marked OPEN and sliding the door downwards until it stops, approximately 1/4”. Lift the
door away from the radio. Locate the MicroSD Card. Using your fingernail or a small screwdriver,
carefully push the MicroSD Card inward until a click is felt, then release to eject the MicroSD Card.
Slide the MicroSD Card out of the slot to remove it from the radio.
To insert the MicroSD Card, position the MicroSD Card with the label facing the front of the radio and
slide it into the slot. Press the MicroSD Card in gently until a click is heard to lock it in place. Replace
the battery compartment door.
NOTE: Always use the PRO-18 PC Application to format the MicroSD Card to ensure that the card is
properly formatted for best performance in the PRO-18.
MicroSD Card contents
The MicroSD Card comes formatted for the standard FAT file system with a cluster size of 32kB. (Note
that this is not the same as the “FAT32” file system.)
The PRO-18 will work best if the supplied 2GB MicroSD Card is formatted for the standard FAT file
system with a cluster size of 32kB, with a volume name of “ISCANDG”. Formatting the MicroSD Card
for other file system types may cause the PRO-18 to malfunction.
When using other MicroSD Cards the following formatting guidelines should be used:
. Any card with 2GB or less capacity must be formatted using the FAT file system with a cluster size of
32kB.
. Any MicroSD Card with greater than 2GB of capacity must be formatted using the FAT32 file system
with a cluster size of 32kB.
Whenever possible, use the PRO-18 PC Application’s “Prepare Scanner Memory/SD Card For Use”
option under the “Scanner/SD Card” menu to format the MicroSD card. This will ensure that the correct
formatting parameters are used every time.
