Introducing FlashTrax
What Is FlashTrax?
FlashTrax is an innovative handheld device that allows you to expand the use of your
digital camera and multimedia files. With simple controls and easy on-screen display,
FlashTrax allows you to store, view, and play all sorts of media files, all in one palm-
size, portable device.
What Can I Do With FlashTrax?
Transfer digital pictures from flash memory cards to FlashTrax
Why carry piles of flash media with you? When you’ve filled up your media card,
just copy it to FlashTrax, erase it, and keep on shooting! When you’re done, just con-
nect FlashTrax to your computer to view, print, or store your pictures.
View pictures on the 3.5" color LCD or TV
With its large, vibrant screen, FlashTrax is great for previewing your digital images or
sharing them with the world. Whether you’re spot-checking on the site of your latest
shoot or sharing your photo album with friends and family, FlashTrax has everything
you need.
Listen to MP3 music
With its massive storage capacity, FlashTrax has more than enough space to take your
entire MP3 collection with you on the road. The convenient MP3 control panel on the
side makes it incredibly easy to enjoy your music anywhere.
Transfer files to your computer
Unlike other devices that require custom drivers or complex interface software,
FlashTrax was designed to be as friendly with your computer as possible – just plug it
in and use it like a USB 2.0 hard disk! You can even use your FlashTrax to transfer
data between computers.
About This Manual
This manual begins with a brief overview of your FlashTrax that introduces the major
controls and components and helps you to unpack and set up. The next section is a tutorial
that will walk you step-by-step through the basics of FlashTrax. After the tutorial is a
more detailed reference section that gives an in-depth explanation of all of the features
of FlashTrax.
SmartDisk recommends that you read all the way through the tutorial, following along
with your FlashTrax. After completing the tutorial, you can continue reading about
the advanced features, or just jump right in and start using your FlashTrax.
If you have any trouble during the tutorial, refer to the Getting Help section later in
this manual.

Unpacking FlashTrax
Take a moment to review the items that came with your FlashTrax. All of these items
should be present in your box.

shipment. Before using your FlashTrax for the first time, please peel away and discard
this shield.
If any of these items are missing from your FlashTrax package, see the Getting
Help section later in this manual for how to contact SmartDisk Technical Support.

Powering FlashTrax
Your FlashTrax draws power either from the included AC Power Adapter or from its
custom lithium-ion battery pack. To load the battery onto your FlashTrax, slide it in
from the top of the unit until it clicks into place. If you later wish to remove the bat-
tery, push in on the two release buttons simultaneously and pull the battery out.
Note: Your FlashTrax contains a hard disk drive. Like all hard drives,
the drive in your FlashTrax is sensitive to vibrations and shock; avoid
dropping your FlashTrax or moving it violently, especially while it is
operating. Failure to respect these precautions may result in damage to
your FlashTrax or loss of data.

Your battery was fully charged before it left the factory, but it may have lost some
charge during shipping. SmartDisk recommends that you charge the battery before
you begin using it. To allow your FlashTrax to begin charging the battery, connect
the small end of the AC Power Adapter to the power jack on the right side of your
FlashTrax and plug the other end into any standard electrical outlet.
When your FlashTrax is plugged in, the CHARGE light on
the front of the unit will be lit. When the light is red, your
FlashTrax is charging the battery. When the light is green,
your FlashTrax has finished charging. You can continue to
use your FlashTrax normally while it is charging.

FlashTrax Tutorial
Before You Begin
Before starting the tutorial, we need to make sure your FlashTrax has power. Insert the
battery and connect the AC Power Adapter as described in the previous section. Now
that your FlashTrax is charging, it’s time to start the tutorial.
Setting the Date
The first thing we’re going to do is set the clock on your FlashTrax. This will give
you a chance to see how the FlashTrax interface works – don’t worry, we’ll get to the
exciting part soon enough.
1. Power on
Flip open the screen on your FlashTrax, then push and hold the POWER button for
about three seconds. The screen will light up and display the SmartDisk logo for a
moment. In a few seconds you’ll be looking at the File Explorer.
2. Enter Setup Mode
We’ll come back to the File Explorer in a moment, but right now we’re going to enter
Setup Mode. Just push once on the Mode button on your FlashTrax, and the Mode
Selection Window will appear.
Push the Down arrow on your FlashTrax once to enter Setup Mode.
It’s important to keep the date set correctly on your FlashTrax because automatic
copies are labeled based on the current date. See Automatic Copying: Advanced
Features later on in this manual for more information.

3. Enter System Setup
You’ll notice at the top of your screen are a variety of labeled boxes. Each box represents
a single aspect of your FlashTrax’ configuration.
Push the Right arrow on the directional pad once. You’ll notice that System, which
had been highlighted in orange, is now gray like the other boxes, and that Power is
now selected in orange. Push Down, and notice how the selection changes again.
Now push Left and then Up – the selection should be back on System again.
Now push Enter – the first item of the System tab should now be highlighted in blue.
4. Set the Date
Your FlashTrax display should now look something like this:
Notice how the Language setting box is highlighted in blue, and the language itself is
highlighted in gray. Push Down once, and the Update Nowbutton should be highlighted.
Push Down twice more.
Now the Date setting box is highlighted in blue, and the first part of the date is selected
in gray. Push Right once – notice how the selected part of the date changes? Push
Right and Left until this part of the date is set correctly, and then push Down to move
on to the next part of the date.
Keep adjusting items with Left and Right and advancing with Down until you’ve set the entire date.
