appear for each file. Do not remove the USB-stick until after the last file has been run. Multiple

folders will be created and named with serial number plus a sequential no, like 201430xxxx_0,

201430xxxx_1etc.

3. Insert USB-stick into USB-connector on right-hand side of teach pendant.

4. After a few seconds a red ! USB ! -sign will appear on the screen, this is a warning not to remove

the USB-stick, while the file will do its magic.

5. Await a green <- USB -sign appears on the screen, If there is more than one Magic file on the USB-

stick then go to 4.

6. After the last Magic file is completed the USB-stick can be safely removed.

7. Remove USB-stick and the process is complete.

The Magic file creates a folder on USB-stick named with the serial number of the robot.
