The Zip disk must be 100 Mb and not anything larger for the DTU to
recognize it. 100 Mb Zip disks come formatted in the FAT format. It is
not necessary to format each time, but it is necessary to delete any
existing files.

Formatting a 100 Mb Zip disk can be done by using either a 100 Mb
or 250 Mb Zip drive on your PC.

Instructions on how to format in FAT format are as follows:

1. Place a 100 Mb into the PC Zip drive.


2. Locate the drive within “My Computer”.
3. Right click the drive and select “Format”.
4. From the File System pull down menu select FAT.

5. Click “Start” to begin the formatting.


6. Wait until complete then click “Ok”. Format is complete.

USB Flash Drive or SD Card Download Procedure: SCN 604, 801,
802, 1000

USB flash drives and SD cards do not require formatting. USB flash
drives must be 16 Mb or larger.

This download procedure requires an empty folder labeled “uasc” on


the USB flash drive or SD card. Use the following creation procedure
to create a “uasc” folder:

Creation of “uasc” folder

Important Note: In order to allow downloaded Navigation Data to be


read from the USB flash drive or SD card, a folder labeled “uasc”
must be made on the USB flash drive. Any pre-existing “uasc” folder
must be deleted. If you do not delete any pre-existing “uasc” folder
and choose to overwrite these contents with new data, it will not
operate correctly in the FMS and may give erroneous data evidenced
by incorrect database dates.

1. Place a USB flash drive or SD card into the appropriate port on


your PC.
2. Verify The USB flash drive or SD card has an empty folder
labeled “uasc” as shown below:
