3.2.2. SD and CF Card Drives
As discussed in Section 2.6, all survey data are stored
on removable memory cards. The current storage capa-
city of the card in use is displayed at the top of the HX
screen. When the card approaches its storage limit, data
files must be transferred from it (see Chapter 7) or it
must be exchanged for a card with available space.
The SD and CF card slots are located under the pro-
tective cap at the top end of the display. Remove the
cap by turning the two captured screws 1/4 turn then
pulling the cap free. To remove the SD card, use your
fingertip, the eraser end of a pencil, the touchscreen
stylus, or a similar instrument to gently press it all the
way into the slot, then quickly release it. The card will
then pop partway out of the slot. If you are wearing
gloves, you might need forceps to remove it. To
remove the CF card, press the drive’s eject button.
Note the card’s orientation and be sure to use that same orientation when replacing it.
To replace the SD card, press it gently into the slot until it clicks into place. To replace the CF
card, seat it gently but firmly against its contacts. Do not use force! Replace and tighten the
protective cap. Do not use the HX without the cap, otherwise, moisture and dirt could
contaminate the card drives.
NOTE You can only safely remove or change the memory card from the Home screen.
Removing it during a survey immediately terminates the survey without saving the
data. It also typically generates an amber “system error” that requires extra steps to
clear (see Section 8.7). In rare cases, it can cause the HX program to stop operating (see
Section 8.1).
3.2.3. Attaching the Carrying Strap
The carrying strap (Fig. 16) should be installed on the top-diagonal corners of the HX; that
is, looking down on the display panel, the strap should be anchored to the left-front and right-
rear corners or vice versa. If you wish to change the factory orientation, use a 5/32-in. hex
wrench to exchange positions of the strap-hanger studs and the regular hex-head screws. Thread
the strap-hanger stud through the hanger bracket, followed by the two spacers, then insert the
stud into the HX and tighten until the hanger bracket resists rotation but still turns (do not
overtighten).
