Downloading images and
animations
Before starting the following procedure, prepare a
CD-ROM including still images (pictures) and
animations (movies).
• The supplied Image Converter CD-ROM
includes sample images and animations, so
you can use this disc as your first trial.
IMPORTANT:
• Still images (pictures) should have <jml>,
and animations (movies) should have <jma>
as their extension code in their file names.
• Downloading a file can be done only while
selecting "CD" as the source; on the other
hand, deleting a file can be done while
selecting any source.
• Before you download or erase the files,
observe the following:
– Do not download a file while driving.
– Do not turn off the ignition key of the car
while downloading or erasing a file.*
– Do not detach the control panel while
downloading or erasing a file.*
* If you do it, the file download or erasure will
not be done correctly. In this case, perform
the same procedure again.
• If you have already downloaded an
animation for "PowerOn," "PowerOff," or
"Movie," downloading a new animation
deletes the previously stored animation.
• It takes a long time for the unit to download
an animation.
– About 6 to 7 seconds for a still image (one
frame).
– About 3 to 4 minutes for an animation of 30
frames.
– About 10 minutes for an animation of 90
frames.
