Dependin on the capacity of the USB drive buildin
the database may take some time. Durin this pro-
cess you may not have access to your music, so you
mi ht find our Gateway Indexer Software helpful in
speedin up the indexin procedure. It can be down-
loaded from http://www.dension.com/sites/default/files/
windows-utility/ atewayindexer.zip
When changing the music content on your USB
drive, it is highly recommended to delete the index
