Press the Power button to start up the Viper Pro field computer. The field computer takes approximately two
minutes to power up.
A USB Port is conveniently located on the front of the Viper Pro field computer. Insert a USB flash drive into
this port to transfer compatible Viper Pro files.
Note:
The USB flash drive must be formatted with the Viper Pro file structure. See Chapter 12, File
Maintenance and Editing Reports, for setting up the required file structure on a USB flash drive.
File Transfer
The Viper Pro features internal memory to store files for current job and field information. The internal memory
should not be used for long term storage and files should be periodically transferred to a home or office PC for
archiving and printing job reports. When transferring files, use a USB flash drive, or “thumb drive,” with at least
256 MB of memory. USB flash drives may be purchased directly from Raven Industries (4 GB USB Flash Drive
P/N 524-0002-065) as well as many retail locations.

Note:
Install the USB flash drive only when transferring files. Do not start the Viper Pro or leave the USB
flash drive in the Viper Pro during normal operations.
NOTICE
Failure to close a job before turning the field
computer power off may result in a loss of
information for that job. Make sure to properly
close any open jobs before shutting down the
computer.
