Inserting a memory card

The instrument comes with a SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) 32 GB memory card (see SD card and memory card reader).

Before inserting or removing a memory card, ensure that the instrument is off.

NOTE – Recording is not possible on a memory card with the write protect switch on the locked position. Ensure that you first slide the switch to the unlocked position.

CAUTION – Do not insert the memory card upside down or back to front. Inserting the memory card incorrectly could damage the instrument and/or the memory card.

NOTE – Trimble recommends using SDHC memory cards (by default, they are formatted in the FAT32 file system) with a minimum size of 32 GB, a class 10 speed and a temperature ranging from -20 °C to 85 °C. If you choose to use an extended capacity SDXC memory card, it must meet the specifications given above and must be formatted in the FAT32 file system. Use the SD Card Management features on the field software application to ensure that the SDXC memory card is formatted in the FAT32 file system. For more information, refer to the field software user guide.

  1. Slide the memory card into the card slot until it clicks into the locked position.

  2. Close the memory card slot cover.

To remove the memory card from the card slot, gently push the memory card to unlock it.
