Backing Up Your Scanner
As a mobile scanner, your iScan is desiged to simplify
changing locations with minimal configuration. V-Scanner II

objects and playlists, so that you can restore your scanner
programming any time, and you can save configurations for
multiple locations.
For example, if you travel between Texas and Colorado,
you can save your Texas programming in one V-Scanner II
folder and your Colorado programming in another. When
you travel, you can load the folder for your current location,
