MMC or SD Memory Card Installation

Your AirMap uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as

custom maps, waypoints and other GPS data. The unit can also use

Secure Digital Cards (SD cards) to store information.

NOTE:

Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just re-
member that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data.

Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a

postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this

manual went to press, MMCs were available in storage capacities of 8

MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. SD cards were available in

capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB and up. We

have successfully tested SD cards up to 1 GB.
Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering in-

formation inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards

are also available at many consumer electronics stores.
The MMC slot is located in the battery compartment, beneath the bat-

teries on the right side of the unit. The contact pins are springy, to

make it easier to insert and remove the MMC card.
To remove an MMC

1. Remove battery compartment cover.
2. Remove batteries, if present.
3. Hold unit facedown in right hand. Use your thumb or index finger

and press down on the center of the MMC label.

Remove an MMC Card.
