Whilst other USB memory sticks may be used, Leica Geosystems recommends Leica
industrial grade USB memory sticks and cannot be held responsible for data loss or
any other error that may occur when using a non-Leica USB memory stick.

• Keep the USB memory stick dry.
• Use it only within the specified temperature range, -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to
+185°F).
• Protect the USB memory stick from direct impacts.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in data loss and/or permanent damage
to the USB memory stick.

cover.
The USB host port is located underneath the top edge of
the compartment.
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB host port.
The cap of a Leica industrial grade USB memory stick can
be stored on the underside of the compartment lid.
