reformatted before being used with the PMA8000B MP3 and only mu-
sic files should be stored, in a single subfolder on the USB Device.
1. Connect the USB Drive to your PC
2. From “Start” select “My Computer” and select the external drive.
3. Right Click on the device, and select “Format. . .”
4. Select “FAT” as File system, and “Start” WARNING, this will
erase all files on this device.
5. After formatting is complete, right click
in the drive, and select “New. . . Folder”
and create a new folder for your music
that you will put on your PMA8000B
MP3
6. Transfer your music files into the new
music folder.
We recommend having no more than 1GB of
music files in this folder to ensure that all the
desired songs are played on the PMA8000B
MP3. Because of the Microsoft file protocol,
we cannot predict which files will be omitted.
Upload to Audio Panel
To upload from a USB memory device, con-
nect the supplied 2.5 mm plug/USB adapter
cable (p/n 425-921-3983) to the audio panel
and your USB device.
Press and hold the Hold Function (TEL)
and Transfer (AUX) buttons until that unit
announces “Transferring.” The annunciation
will also give status reports approximately
as each 20% of the data is transferred, for
transfers lasting more than one minute..
After the music transfer is complete, the
PMA8000B MP3 will automatically reset to
store the files and create the new play list.
Therefore it is not advisable to upload files
in flight or when the audio panel is other-
wise in use.
