About File Transfer Mode

Notice

If you are not sure about the purpose

of a file, do not delete the file. Your

device memory contains important

system files that should not be deleted.

Be especially cautious of files located

in folders entitled “Garmin.”
File transfer mode is also referred to

as USB mass storage mode. Use file

transfer mode to add files to the device.

Transferring Files

You can transfer files, such as MP3s

and JPEGs, to your device.
1. Insert the memory card (

page 2

).

2. Connect the mini-USB cable to

the connector on the bottom of the

device (not the cradle).

3. Connect the cable to your computer.
4. Touch Yes to switch to mass storage

mode.

5. Double-click the My Computer

icon (Windows

®

computers) or

Two additional drives (volumes)

appear in the list of drives on

your computer. One is the internal

memory of the device. The other is

the memory card.

6. Copy and paste the files to transfer

into the appropriate folders in the

new drives.
