MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation. Lowrance electronic LMS-525C DF, LMS-520C

Portable Installation

Like many Lowrance products, the unit is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack, a magnetequipped antenna module and an optional portable transducer, expands the uses for your sonar/GPS unit. It makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without mounting a second bracket. You can use it in your own car or boat, then take it along when riding in a friend's vehicle.

The power pack can be used with eight "D" cell alkaline batteries or an optional sealed, rechargeable battery. Visit our web site for a complete listing of all the available portable power packs.

MMC or SD Card Memory Card Installation

Your unit uses a MultiMedia Card to store information, such as sonar logs, custom maps, waypoints, trails and other GPS data. It can also use Secure Digital Cards (SD card) to store data.

NOTE:

Throughout this manual, we will use the term MMC, but just remember that your unit can use an MMC or SD card to store data.

Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp. An SD card is slightly thicker than an MMC. As this manual went to press, MMCs were available in storage capacities of 8

MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. SD cards were available with capacities of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB and 1 GB.

Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering information inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD cards are also available at many camera and consumer electronics stores.

The MMC slot is located in a compartment on the front of the case. The compartment door is located at the lower right corner. The following figure shows a close-up with the door opened.
