Move the highlight to the $MDI file.

Select „Copy file“: Press the COPY soft key

Target file =

Enter the name under which you want to save
the current contents of the $MDI file.

Copy the file.

Exit the file manager: END key

DELETE soft key. The next time you select the operating mode
Positioning with MDI, the TNC will display an empty $MDI file.
