Trouble Shooting

• If the controller doesn’t recognize the USB stick the USB maybe the wrong format, the SatKing Pro Max requires FAT-32 format. (The change the format to FAT-32 make sure you back up your existing files on the stick as changing the format will wipe the files.) Insert the USB stick into a PC and check the format of the drive by selecting the USB file and right clicking and going to “Properties”, if the file is not FAT-32 you need to go to “format” and select FAT-32 file system. Then you need to download the software again and repeat steps 1-5.
• It is also possible that the USB stick is too old and too slow for the SatKing Pro Max, trying using a newer USB stick and repeat steps 1-5.
