MicroTrack II Quick Start Guide
Mac OS X
Connecting the MicroTrack to a Macintosh OS X computer will cause a new hard drive icon to appear on the
desktop. Double-click this icon to view files stored on MicroTrack.
‣
To copy a file from the MicroTrack II CF card or Microdrive to your computer, simply drag the file to the desktop
of your computer, or to another location of your choice. When you drop the file in the desired location, it will
be copied to this new location. The original file will still remain on the CF card or Microdrive.
‣
To disconnect MicroTrack II from the computer, you will first need to “unmount” the virtual hard drive as
follows:
•
For PC users
, click on the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon located in the System Tray, which is in the
corner of the taskbar where the computer’s clock is displayed. After clicking the icon, click “Safely remove
USB Mass Storage Device” from the pop-up menu. In a few moments, a message will pop up stating that you
may now safely remove the hardware. You can now disconnect MicroTrack II.
•
For Mac users
, simply drag the virtual hard disk from the desktop to the trash can. Don’t worry—this does
not delete the contents of the MicroTrack II CF card or Microdrive. This will simply unmount the drive. When
the icon disappears, you can disconnect MicroTrack II.
