Backing up settings

SettingsConfiguration back-up

Note

If you have more than one Alpha Series performance display connected to your system, you will need to backup and restore each unit individually.

To backup your page configurations and system settings:

  1. Insert a MicroSD card into a card reader slot on your chartplotter.
  2. Navigate to: Data page view > Overlay menu > Settings > Backup & restore.
  3. Select Save a backup.
  4. Select the multifunction display which your MicroSD card has been inserted into.
  5. Select the MicroSD card where the backup will be stored.

    If no MicroSD card has been detected by your chartplotter, a ‘No SD card detected’ prompt will appear.

  6. Navigate the file browser and select the root file directory of your MicroSD card or a (sub)folder on your MicroSD card where you wish to save the backup file.

    Once selected, your selection will be highlighted.

  7. Press Select to confirm your save location.

    A Save as screen will appear.

  8. (Optional) Enter a name for your backup file using the onscreen keyboard.

    By default, your backup file will be saved as: ‘alpha_serial number_date_time’.

    The default backup file name date and time format is taken from your multifunction display’s Date format and Time format settings. The Date format and Time format settings can be configured from the Units settings menu on your chartplotter: Homescreen > Settings > Units > Date format / Time format.

  9. Press Save to confirm your file name choice and save your backup file.

    If the specified file name already exists in your file destination, a Name conflict pop-up will appear:

    • Select Yes to overwrite the existing file with your new backup file.

    • Select No to return to the Save as screen.

Once saved, a Backup saved pop-up will appear at the top of your screen.
