Memory Transfer Using a Secure Digital Card Or USB Flash Drive with a Pathfinder Plus Only.

The Pathfinder with Plus features allows you to transfer files from the Pathfinder to a computer or computer to Pathfinder by using a Secure Digital card or a USB memory device (sometimes called a "Memory Stick", "Keychain" or "Keyfob" device).

Important Note:  The maximum size for USB Flash Drives is 4GB (may need to be formatted as a FAT 32) and the maximum size for Secure Digital Cards is 2GB for Memory Transfers or playing sound files in PRC Devices. If trying to use a removeable disk larger than recommended, the device may not recognize the disk.

IMPORTANT NOTE!  Importing Sound (wav) Files and Saving/Loading Notebooks

You import sound files when you are in a storing menu (STORE CORE, CREATE or MODIFY ACTIVITIES/PAGES, ASSIGN KEYS, etc.). You save or load Notebooks while you are in the NOTEBOOK MENU

After connecting your memory device, it is a good idea to go first to the MEMORY TRANSFER MENU and select either AUTO, SD Card or USB Disk. Then begin the storing process for importing sound files or go to the NOTEBOOK MENU to load or save Notebooks.
