 USB Memory Stick Management for Enhanced DBU-5010E

1. The enhanced DBU-5010E is capable of reading databases located in folders on the USB

recommendations to help organize the databases and may be altered as necessary.

2. Begin with a blank, 1 GB (min.), USB memory stick that does not contain any pre-installed
Windows based programs, such as the U3 Launch Pad. Insert into USB drive of computer.

View Operator Bulletin #0073-08 for USB Media recommendations.
