other unit, press the
START
key. The status bar displays
the message
TRANSFERRING
and updates every second
with the number of waypoints and routes sent compared
to the total quantity to be sent. The progress bar, located
below the status bar, graphically shows the percentage
completed.

following messages may appear:
•
If the other unit is off-line, the master unit displays the
dialog-box message
TRANSFER ABORTED BY
COMMUNICATION TIMEOUT

COMMUNICATION ERROR
.
•
If the master unit doesn’t have any waypoints and routes,
the master unit displays the dialog-box message
NO
WAYPTS OR ROUTES TO TRANSFER
and the status-bar
message
NO TRANSFER DONE
.
•
If the other unit is completely full of waypoints and routes
(no more room available), the master unit displays the
dialog-box message
REMOTE UNIT STATUS ERROR [002]
DATABASE FULL
and the status-bar message
TRANSFER
ERROR
.
7. If the transfer is successful, the status bar displays the
message
TRANSFER COMPLETE
. You can now press any
key to resume other operations.
Transferring waypoints to and from a PC
If you’ve stored many waypoints or routes in the 958, or if
these waypoints are the only record you have of these
important locations, you may want to keep a separate copy on
your PC.
You can transfer waypoints and routes to your PC by using
Northstar’s loader cable (part number 1100-LC) and special
transfer software provided by third-party vendors. This lets
you copy, edit, or plot waypoints and routes, and, most
important, reload them from your PC into your 958 if they’re
accidentally erased or lost due to equipment failure. For
