The first time a USB drive is connected to the rugged device to save a report, the following
screen appears. This screen is used to determine the location to save the report.

Tap the hamburger menu icon next to "Recent". Drop down menu items appear.

Tap the menu item corresponding to the connected USB drive (in this example
"USB4REPORTS").

The files and folders in the connected USB drive will be displayed.

Note:

The displayed folders may be created in advance from a PC.

Tap the desired folder (in this example "Reports") followed by "Select".
The report will be generated and stored in the selected folder.

Note

Wait until all corresponding hints to generating and saving report have been displayed
before disconnecting the USB from the rugged device.
