Please be aware that the files that are stored in the Mates are not able to be overwritten, and this leads to corrupted data among other mystery issues. Contact Kris Stone, a former OB employee, he has the ability to erase the old files. I no longer travel w/o updated M3s and the firmware to up date. IF I have an issue, I will copy settings in the older Mate and leave my new one in place until I get it addressed by Kris. FYI OB just closed down 1 their offices and moved (those who still had jobs) to I believe Bellingham. Lonus?
