1.4 Data Storage
Data is stored on either an Internal
Memory or PC Card. The PC Card is
the preferred data storage medium.
The Internal Memory is an option.
The PC Card is inserted into the slot
on the front of the GPS Receiver. PC
Cards are available from Leica with
varying capacities. Note that whilst
other PC Cards may be used, Leica
recommend Leica PC cards only and
cannot be held responsible for data
loss or any other error that may occur
whilst using a non-Leica card.
To insert the PC Card in the GPS
Receiver, open the card slot door,
with the Leica Logo uppermost and
facing you, slide the card into the slot
firmly until it clicks into position. Press
the eject button at the side of the card
to remove it.
Inserting the PC Card
The Internal Memory is available in
8MB or 16MB capacities and resides
in the Receiver. When data has to be
downloaded to SKI-Pro, connection is
made between port 2 on the Receiver
and a serial port on the PC.
The memory device is checked
before starting a survey. If it is more
than 80% full, an information mes-
sage appears.
Follow the care instructions shown on
the rear of the card. Keep the card
dry, only use within the specified
temperature range, do not bend the
card and protect it from direct shock.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in data loss and/or
permanent damage to the card.
The card can become very hot during
use. Avoid touching the metal parts of
the card after prolonged use.
