1. MOUNTING
The memory card interface unit can be flush mounted in a console, or mountd on a desktop or the
overhead.
Choose a mounting location for the unit considering the following points:
• Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See outline
drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space.
• Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.
• The location should be well ventilated.
• Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Only the front panel is waterproofed.
Note: For flush mount or bulkhead mount, the DIP switch setting should be completed before
mounting. See page 8.
1.1 Flush Mounting
1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location as below.
2. Screw four threaded rod (M4×50, supplied) into holes on the front panel (reverse side).
3. Insert the unit into the cutout made at step 1.
4. Fix the unit with four spring, flat washers, and hex. nuts.

Setting of the IP address for the second memory card interface unit
When connecting two memory card interface units, change the DIP switch setting on the second
unit as below to change its IP address. Note that the second unit is exclusively for reading chart
card.
1. Unfasten two pan head screws (M3x8), a wing bolt and a washer for MJ connector at the rear
of the unit.
2. Unfasten four screws and the connector at the location shown below to remove the front
panel.
3. Unfasten four pan head screws at the inner front chassis to remove it.
4. Pull out the inner chassis to it.
5. Set the #4 segment of DIP switch S1 as below.

3. OPERATION
3.1 Basic Operation
Card drive
Insert the appropriate chart SD card (or memory card) for your area as below. For details of SD
cards, see the operator’s manual for NavNet VX-2.
1. Open the card drive.
2. Insert the card (label side up) prior to turning on the power at NavNet VX2-BB.
3. Close the lid.
To remove the card, follow the instructions shown on the display of NavNet VX2 and then confirm
that the power lamp on the front panel lights. Do not read/write the data.
Power lamp
Lights (green): The power is on.
Blinks: The unit is reading/writing data.
Card box
You can store two SD cards here.
Note 1: When the connection between NavNet VX2-BB and memory card interface unit is wrong,
the NavNet VX2-BB searches for chart data in the SD card for 50 seconds, and then returns to
the normal operation. The display looks frozen, however normal operation will be restarted after
the search is completed.
Note 2: To prevent loss of card dataif thepower suddenly goes off,it is recommended that
you periodically back up data to an SD card.
