Verify PDA memory.
1. Power up the PDA. With the plastic pen, press on the Home icon on the lower left side of the
screen to see the time of day on the upper left.
2. Press on the time of day, a menu should pop up, press on <Info…> in this menu. A page will
show how much free memory is available on the PDA.
Example: 1.1M means 1.1 megabytes, equates to 1100 kb (kilobytes). Each GS550 firm-
ware uses more than 140 kb of memory. If there is not enough memory left, verify if some
applications or data logger files could be removed.
Note: A firmware with crane capacity charts may require more memory.
