How do I Import Photos or Icons using a Cable or USB flash disk? (Software Version 3.03 or higher)

To Import Icons or Photos using a USB Flash Disk:

NOTE:  Your photos must have a BMP, JPG, GIF, or PNG extension for the SpringBoard to recognize the photo as a valid icon. 

1.  Press the TOOLS button (with a picture of a hammer and screwdrive on it) on the front of the case to go the the SpringBoard Toolbox.

2. Select the TRANSFER MEMORY MENU.

3.  Plug the USB Flash Drive that contains your photos into the USB conector on the right side of the SpringBoard case.

4.  In the TRANSFER MEMORY MENU select the Import Icons option.

5.  You see a list of all the graphics (icons/photos) stored on your USB drive.  Select the one you want to import or use Select All to import them all at once. Select OK.

6. If you select one icon to import you will see a screen like the one below:

You see the icon you imported and an option to Rename Icon. This allows you to change the name of the icon. You can also change the Aspect Ratio. We strongly suggest you leave this set to YES.  When you are ready select OK.

You see the Icon Category Menu. The SpringBoard automatically places your icon in the IMPORTS folder (you will not see this folder at this time). If you want your icon to be available in another category folder, select the category and the sub-category (if there is a sub-category). Then select OK.  If you just want to keep the icon in the IMPORTS folder, select Cancel to exit the Category Menu.

7. If you select the Select All option and import a number of icons you will see a screen like the one below:

You see the first icon. You can select Rename Icon and change the icon name, then select OK to go to the next icon. You can also change the Aspect Ratio but we strongly suggest that you leave this option set to YES.

OR

When you import a number of icons at once, you can select the Import all icons without asking about each one option. This will place all the icons in a folder and you can then rename them at your leisure.

If you select Import all icons without asking about each one, you will see the following message:

If you select YES you will see the Icon Category Menu. The SpringBoard automatically places your icon in the IMPORTS folder (you will not see this folder at this time).

This is a picture of the Icon Category Menu.

If you select NO, you will see the Icon Category Menu. Select the category and the sub-category (if there is a sub-category) you want for each icon. Then select OK. The icons will also be available in the IMPORTS folder (which you cannot se at this time).

NOTE:  To see the IMPORTS folder go to any menu that offers the Change Icon option (e.g., STORE CORE, MODIFY ACTIVITY, etc.). Select the Change Icon option. You will see the Icon Category Menu The IMPORTS folder should be visible.  

Importing Icons using the MTI Cable

7. See Steps 5-7 in the USB directions above. They are the same whether you are importing with a USB or a cable.

8. The next time you modify a picture you will see a new category called Imports. This is where your imported photos will be found.

Deleting Imported Icons:  To delete Imported Icons in your SpringBoard, you must go to one of your editing menus such as Modify Page, select any page, choose any key, then go to the Change Icon or Modify Icon key in the lower left corner.  Select More Item to find the IMPORTS category.  Select IMPORTS to view all your imported icons.  In the lower left corner, select the key labeled Delete Icon then press the icon you wish to delete.
