Importing Icons to a Vantage/Vanguard with 3.04 software or Lower.

You CAN import icons into a Vantage/Vanguard from the USB thumb drive, but you must first convert it to a .mti file.   To do this:

Note:  Be sure your pictures is a 256 color bitmap and you know where they are stored on your computer.

1. Open your MTI program

2. Click on the Import Icon picture.

3. Now you will see a box to choose the icon (s) you want to import

4.  Select the icon (if you hold CTRL while selecting, you can choose more than one picture). 

Remember: The ICON NAME should be unique and no more than 8 characters long as there are already many icons in the device  and you can’t have duplicate names.

You will then see this preview. 

5. After you select OK, you will see a the PRC mti icon with the title ICONS TO IMPORT.MTI

 Mine appeared on my desktop because that was where I was working from.   If the pictures you were importing were in a folder, the Icons to Import.mti icon may appear there.

6. Copy this file on to your thumb drive

7. Plug the drive into the USB port of your Vantage/Vanguard2.

8. From your Toolbox select TRANSFER MEMORY MENU.

Be sure the MTI METHOD is set for USB disk.

9. Select IMPORT ICONS

A list of .mti files will appear on your display.

10. Select the Icons to Import.MTI file.

 Remember: all pictures you import will go into an IMPORTS catagory in your Springboard. 

To see them, you must be MODIFYING an activity, page or core.  When you select CHANGE ICON, the categories of icons will appear and you will find the IMPORTS category as the last category.
