Flash Card Reader
Route data can be transferred to and from the Mobile Collector using a removable flash card
(two CompactFlash® cards are supplied). The Windows operating system on the GoBook
recognizes the flash card as a removable drive, allowing standard file access.
Periodic data backups to the flash card can be configured in the Mobile Administration
application; see the Mobile Collection Administration Guide (TDC-0381-001) or Online
Help for more information.
See the Mobile Collection User's Guide (TDC-0380-xxx) or Online Help for more
information on using the flash card in day-to-day activities.
Compact Flash Cards
The Mobile Collection system includes two SanDisk CompactFlash cards. If you require
more cards, you may purchase them through Itron or through electronics stores or
distributors.
Use of unapproved cards can result in loss of data.
If you purchase additional cards from a distributor or electronics retailer, Itron recommends
the following:
64M SanDisk Industrial Grade, Extended Temperature range
