EZ Scan Library
Your scanner comes with an installed Micro SD card
that contains the entire USA/Canadian Radio Reference
database as well as the EZ Scan software.
NOTE: Make a copy of the EZ Scan software files in
case the SD card is lost or damaged.
To remove the Micro SD card from the scanner:
WARNING: To prevent corrupted data on the Micro SD
Card, always turn the scanner off using the front panel
power key before opening the battery compartment
cover.
1. Turn off scanner, unplug external power, and
remove the batteries.
2. Press and release the Micro SD card.
3. To reinsert the Micro SD card, with the label facing
the front of the radio press it in until it clicks in
place.
NOTE: Always use the EZ Scan software “Prepare
Scanner Memory/SD Card For Use” option under the
“Scanner/ SD Card”menu to format the Micro SD
Card if the card is not performing as expected or if the
scanner does not power up with the Micro SD Card.
The Micro SD card comes formatted for the standard
FAT file system with a cluster size of 32k.
To format additional cards (2GB or smaller), use only
the EZ Scan software to format the Micro SD card.
• Format using the FAT file system with 32k clusters.
• If you use Micro SD cards larger than 2GB, format
using FAT32 with 32k clusters.
• Formatting the Micro SD card for other file system
types may cause EZ Scan to malfunction.
Connecting the scanner to a computer with the
supplied USB cable allows you to access the card with
the EZ Scan software and update the Library, edit the
configuration and stored objects, optimize the card, and
reformat the card if necessary. You can also connect the
SD Card to an external reader, which may provide faster
data transfer rates when compared to accessing the
card while it is in the radio.
