Making USB Connections Between

iWay500C and Computers

This instruction sheet supplements your iWay 500C manual and de-

scribes the proper methods for connecting and disconnecting the GPS

unit and a computer with the USB-to-PC cable. This cable allows you to

copy or move music files from a computer to the iWay 500 hard drive.

CAUTION:

Connecting the iWay and your computer incorrectly will prevent

you from successfully transferring music files to the unit. In

some cases, connecting incorrectly may corrupt the hard drive

partition used for music storage. This would result in loss of any

music files already loaded in the unit, and would require you to

reformat the music partition on the unit's hard drive.

The iWay 500C GPS unit acts like an additional removable disk drive

when connected to a computer running the MicrosoftWindows2000 or

WindowsXP operating systems. The iWay is not compatible with ear-

lier Windows versions.

Connecting

1. Turn on the iWay and wait for it to power up.

2. Plug in the cable's USB connector to the USB port on your computer

and connect the cable's other end to the iWay. The computer will recog-

nize the iWay and assign it a drive letter.

3. Transfer music files to the iWay as you would normally move or copy

files, following your computer's operating system instructions.

Disconnecting

Windows XP

1. Wait until any file operation (such as transferring files) is finished.

Copying files to the iWay is complete when the copy dialog box goes

away.

2. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the iWay. The computer

and GPS unit are ready for other tasks.

Windows 2000

Wait until any file operation (such as transferring files) is finished.

Confirm that your file operation is complete by using the Eject com-

mand:

1. Right-click the iWay drive letter. (This can be found by first double-

clicking the "My Computer" icon on the Windows desktop.)

2. If the file is still copying (or another file operation is under way), you

will see the standard Windows hourglass symbol. This indicates the

unit's hard drive is still active. When the hourglass disappears, the file

has finished copying. Unplug the USB cable and resume other tasks.

3. If you right-click the reader's drive letter and instead of the hour-

glass symbol a pop-up menu appears, click EJECT.

A. If no "wait" or warning message appears, unplug the USB cable

and resume other tasks.

B. If a "wait" message appears, follow the directions and give the unit

a few moments to finish the file operation, then repeat the Eject com-

mand. If no other message appears, unplug the USB cable.

C. If you click EJECT and a "Cannot Unmount Volume" message ap-

pears, click CONTINUE. You can now safely unplug the USB cable.

Cannot Unmount Volume message. This may appear when trying to

Eject the iWay while using Windows 2000 operating systems.

Remember: No matter what computer operating system you are using,

you must always wait until any file operation is finished before you dis-

connect the USB cable. If you have questions, refer to your computer

operating system instructions to determine the completion indicators

for various file operations.
