Installing an Optional SD Card

Open the battery door and remove the LI-ION battery,
exposing the SD Card Cradle.

Lightly press on the SD Card Cradle Release and the
cradle will spring open.

With the cradle open, slide the SD card in the cradle
(shown in gray). Do NOT lay the SD card flat in the
battery compartment as damage will occur when
closing the SD Card Cradle. Gently push the SD card
cradle back down until it locks into place.

Put the LI-ION battery back in the battery
compartment and secure the battery door.

Connecting to a Personal Computer

Turn your eXplorist off and connect the round connector of the
eXplorist data cable to the back of your eXplorist and tighten the
locking screw. There are alignment tabs on the connector to make
sure that the connector is installed properly. It is recommended
that you connect the eXplorist to external power using the external
AC power adapter.

The other end of the eXplorist data cable has a standard USB
connector that you connect to your personal computer USB ports
(normally found on the back of your personal computer). Turn your
personal computer on and then turn on your eXplorist. You may
see a message on your computer indicating that it has found a new
USB hardware device. On your eXplorist, a screen is displayed
indicating that it is in USB File transfer mode.

Right click the “My Computer” icon on the desktop of your
computer and select the “Explore” option. If you have an SD card
installed in your eXplorist you will see a new device named “Removable Disk”. From here
you are able to copy files to and from the installed SD card to your computer.
