Tips for File Management

• Backup Regularly: Always keep backups of your important configurations and scenes on a USB drive. This ensures you can recover quickly in case of system changes or malfunctions.
• Name Files Clearly: Use descriptive file names, including dates, to make file identification easier (e.g., “BoardBackup_10182024”).
• Organize Your Library: Keep your internal storage uncluttered by regularly transferring unused or archived files to a USB drive.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• USB Not Detected: Ensure your USB drive is formatted in a compatible file system (e.g., FAT32 or exFAT).
• File Not Loading: Confirm that the file is supported by the Wing (e.g., ensure it’s a valid configuration file).
• Drive Errors: If the USB drive shows errors, try reformatting it (after backing up its contents) and reconnecting.
