CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
Installing the CompactFlash™
Remove the battery pack (see par. "Battery
Pack").
Insert the cartridge into the appropriate
slot, with the label side (side with a small
arrow) backwards and push it.
Replace the battery pack as described in
the paragraph "Battery Pack" and check
that it is perfectly closed, in order to avoid
any water infiltration.
Removing the CompactFlash™
Make sure that the plotter is switched off and perfectly dry.
Remove the battery pack, then extract the cartridge.
WARNING: Always use CompactFlash™ cartridges certified by Navionics. The
use of non-certified cartridges may result in improper operation of the unit.
The CompactFlash™ cartridges can be used as a mass-storage
with any PC computer, so can be the cartridge used by the
plotter. However, the plotter needs to find some free space in
the cartridge in order to work properly. Prior to use a new
cartridge, always make sure that there are at least 2.5MB of
free space.
WARNING: Be careful when handling the cartridge files by using the PC. Windows
allows deleting and moving files easily, therefore pay attention when using Windows
Explorer not to erase the content of the \NAVIONIC and \GEONAV folders. Damaging
the files stored in such directories may result in loss of data or improper operation of
the unit.
