Save Users Memory

When replacing the navigation unit, this function allows the dealer to transfer the client's personal data to the new navigation unit. The transferred information includes their Setup settings, and personal addresses. The dealer inserts a PC card to the navigation unit, and then selects the Save Users Memory function. The two functions in this diagnostic screen are EXPORT and IMPORT. EXPORT saves the client's data to the PC card, and IMPORT moves the PC card files to the new navigation unit.

Before starting this function, see the PC CARD FAQS  for information regarding PC cards, and how to use this function.

1. Select EXPORT button to move the client's data from the original navigation unit to the PC card. Select YES on the Export User Data Confirmation screen. The process takes only a couple of seconds. The system stores two files on the card.
   NOTE: If the EXPORT button is grayed out, check the PC card's edge connector, and the pins inside the navigation unit (with a flashlight) for damage.

2. After installing the client's original DVD in the new navigation unit, allow the system to boot up. Insert the PC card in the new navigation unit and enter the Save Users Memory in the navigation system diagnostic mode.
3. Select IMPORT button to move the two files stored by the Export process from the PC card to the new navigation unit. Select YES on the Import User Data Confirmation screen. When the transfer is finished (a few seconds) the system automatically reboots. After the system reboots, remove the PC card from the PC slot.
   NOTE: If the IMPORT button is grayed out, check if the Model and the Program Flash shown on the Version screen are the same.
