.
•
If the master unit is completely full of waypoints and
routes with no more room available, the master unit
displays the dialog-box message
LOCAL UNIT STATUS
ERROR [002] DATABASE FULL
and the status-bar message
COMMUNICATION ERROR
.
7. If the transfer is successful, the master unit’s status bar
displays the message
TRANSFER COMPLETE
. You can now
press any key to resume other operations.
Moving waypoints
and routes from a
unit
When you move waypoints from unit 1 (the designated
master) into unit 2, the
entire contents of unit 1 are exported
into unit 2. Also, if any waypoint or route name matches exist,
the waypoints or routes from unit 1 will
overwrite the
waypoints or routes already in unit 2.
NOTE:
If you press any function key on the master unit during the transfer, the
error message
TRANSFER ABORTED BY KEY HIT
will be displayed,
the process will be aborted, and the master unit will display the particular
screen accessed by that function keypress. You can press any key on the
other unit without interrupting the transfer process.
To purposely stop the transfer at any time, press the
STOP
key. If you
press the
STOP
key, the master unit displays the dialog-box message
TRANSFER ABORTED BY KEY HIT
, and the status bar displays the
message
TRANSFER ABORTED
. Waypoints and routes transferred up
to that point are in the receiving unit (be aware that a particular route may
not comprise all of its waypoints due to the transfer interruption). Press
the
START
key again to re-start the entire transfer process (this means
that all waypoints and routes, not just the ones already in the receiving
unit and the ones left to be transferred, are re-transferred).
1. Choose the unit you’d like to use as the “master.”
Remember: You can use either of two units because both
units are capable of importing or exporting waypoints and
routes. Make sure the second unit is on.
2. At the “master” unit, press the
WAYPTS/ROUTES
key to
display the
WAYPOINTS AND ROUTES
screen.
