USB Drive Compatibility
The EZ−Guide 500 lightbar saves data to and from a USB drive using a FAT file system.
Caution − Multi−function devices, for example iPods or MP3 players, are not compatible with the lightbar. Do
not reformat these devices to use the FAT file system, as this may delete their firmware and prevent them from
operating correctly.
The following drive is compatible with the lightbar:
Lexar Firefly 1 GB (P/N 64268−1G). For more information, contact your local reseller.

•

•
USB to CompactFlash adaptors

Note: Newer versions of the SanDisk Micro Cruzer USB drive are not compatible. Versions of the drive that have
worked in the past will continue to work.
Note − Because USB to CompactFlash card adaptors are not supported, AgGPS Autopilot system users must
transfer field data from their CompactFlash cards to the USB drive using a laptop or office computer.
If you are having trouble importing or exporting data to a USB drive, reformat it with the FAT file system.
Note − This deletes any data on the drive. Before you complete these steps, copy any data that you want to keep.
