Frequently Asked Questions

How much battery life will I get when using my FlashTrax XT?

FlashTrax XT uses a 4400 mAh Lithium Ion rechargeable battery that is user-replaceable. While operating time on a single charge will vary depending upon a number of factors, including Power Management settings and user applications. Expected battery life is:

*copying data from 1GB CF cards:

36-37 GB of data on a single charge

*copying data from 512MB CF cards:

22-23 GB of data on a single charge

*watching video:

7-8 hours on a single charge

*listening to music:

14-15 hours on a single charge

For demanding applications, these figures can be doubled by purchasing a spare battery for replacement in the field.


Does FlashTrax XT read RAW format data from digital still cameras?

FlashTrax XT can read any RAW format files from flash media and store them on its hard drive, just like JPEG's. When FlashTrax XT copies the contents of an inserted flash media card onto its hard drive using the automatic COPY feature, it copies the entire contents of the media card, including all files and subdirectories. Therefore no matter what format you have used to capture images or other data, it will be saved to the FlashTrax XT hard drive.

Can FlashTrax XT display RAW format images on its LCD?

Yes, FlashTrax XT can display RAW format images from selected camera models from Canon (.CRW,.CR2), FujiFilm (.RAF), Minolta (.MRW + .THM), Nikon (.NEF), Olympus (.ORF), Sony (.SRF), Sigma (.X3F) and Pentax (.PEF). FlashTrax XT displays RAW files using the JPEG image embedded in most RAW files, so display time is quite fast. The resolution of the displayed RAW file (and therefore the extent of zooming possible) depends on the resolution of the JPEG information stored in the RAW file by the particular camera manufacturer.

What voltage range is supported by the A/C adapter?

The A/C adapter will work with input voltages of 100V to 250V, 50 to 60 Hertz. Therefore it can be used with most international electrical systems if an appropriate plug adapter is used.

Is the rechargeable battery interchangeable in the field?

Yes. You can purchase extra batteries so that you'll always have a charged battery for quick replacement.

Can FlashTrax XT erase images off CompactFlash?

Yes, or it can reformat the CF card if desired. (Note: it is usually easier to use the camera to erase or reformat after a transfer to FlashTrax XT, than to use FlashTrax XT itself.)

Can FlashTrax XT read flash cards such as Secure Digital, SmartMedia, MemoryStick, or xD?

FlashTrax XT directly reads CompactFlash (CF) cards. To read other types of cards, the SmartDisk FlashTrax XT Media Adapter (model # CAXX4N1) can be used. The Media Adapter plugs into the FlashTrax XT CF slot, and looks like a CF card with a slot to plug in either an SD/MMC, SmartMedia, Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro card. Unfortunately, the CAXX4N1 has been discontinued and no longer available.

Does FlashTrax XT support IBM Microdrives?

Yes. Microdrives are actually high capacity (1GB and higher) tiny mechanical drives packed into a CompactFlash case. They use more power than traditional CompactFlash memory, so some devices will not work with them. They are not a problem for FlashTrax XT.

Does FlashTrax XT work with Apple computers?

Yes. When connected to an Apple USB port, it appears as a mounted external hard drive.

How is the FlashTrax XT hard drive formatted?

FAT32, for maximum compatibility with both Windows and Mac OS based PC's.

Can I store data other than pictures, videos and music on FlashTrax XT?

Yes, since FlashTrax XT looks like an external hard drive to the PC to which it is connected, it can be used just like any external, portable hard drive. So you could use FlashTrax XT to back up or transfer documents, spreadsheets, etc.

Is FlashTrax XT upgradeable?

Yes, SmartDisk frequently offers free user-installable software upgrades for FlashTrax XT that add new features and improve operation. Check the SmartDisk Technical Support section of our web site for more information.
