“51P2_USA_160913” folder will be created on the
same place where the downloaded file is saved.
2. Inserting the microSD card into a PC

•
Icom recommends that you format all microSD
cards to be used with the ID-51A/E, even prefor-
matted microSD cards for PCs or other uses. When
the microSD card is formatted in the transceiver,
the formatting process creates an ID-51 folder on
the card. The ICF file extracted from the download-
ed Zip file must be copied into the setting folder in
the ID-51 folder. Otherwise the transceiver will not
see it.
See page 2-3 for details of inserting and removing
the microSD card.
