1.2 MEMORY
 Read-only Memory (ROM)
128 megabytes flash memory for storing OS (Windows CE 5.0) and custom
application programs. Yet a small portion of the memory is referred to as
DiskOnChip, which can store data and programs that you wish to retain even
after a hardware reset.
 Random-access Memory (RAM)
64 or 128 megabytes SDRAM for storing and running programs, as well as storing
program data. Its contents will be retained by the backup battery.
 Expansion Slot
The mobile computer is equipped with one miniSD card slot, which is user
accessible. You may upgrade memory by inserting an optional miniSD memory
card.
1.2.1 CAUTION OF DATA LOSS
When the main battery is removed or drained, the backup battery on the main
board is to retain the contents of SRAM and maintain the OS in suspend mode for at
least 20 hours, on condition that the backup battery has already been fully charged.
If you want to put away the mobile computer for a couple of days, you should be
aware that data loss occurs when both the main and backup batteries discharge
completely. Therefore, it is necessary to backup data and files before putting away
the mobile computer!
