Accessing files on a CompactFlash card

•

From the Windows desktop, double-click on the My Handheld PC icon. A

window will open. If a CompactFlash card is currently fitted, one of the icons in

the window will be a folder called Compact Flash. Double-click on the folder to

list the contents of the CompactFlash card.

Using Type II and Type III PC Cards

The PC Card slots can be used to hold storage cards or to expand the fex21

system with other application-specific cards.

NOTE: The two PC Card slots are hot-swappable. PC Cards can be fitted or

removed while the fex21 is switched on.

Fitting a Type II PC Card

•

Remove the PC Card hatch by pushing the two tabs inwards (as shown in the

diagram) until they click. Lift the hatch away from the fex21.

•

Push the PC Card into the slot. The front of the card should face inwards,

towards the front of the fex21. PC Cards are keyed to fit the slot, so a card

cannot easily be inserted upside down.

CAUTION: Never attempt to force a PC Card into a slot, as this may damage

the card and the fex21.

•

Replace the hatch. Holding it at 30° to the computer, slot the angled tabs at the

end under the speaker molding. Push the two tabs inwards, and press the

hatch down until it clicks into place.

The Windows operating system will recognize a storage card automatically once it

has been installed. Some other cards may not be recognized automatically and

How to reset your Itronix fex21

If your Itronix fex21 locks up or fails to operate, you may need to reset it in one of

two ways.

Soft Reset

Hold down both the ú÷ and úø keys. After several seconds the screen will

go blank and your fex21 will perform a Soft Reset. A Soft Reset does not affect the

Windows operating system registry and therefore your data is safe.

NOTE: For the Soft Reset to work correctly, the fex21 must be switched on while the

contrast keys are held down.

Hard Reset

Hold down the following four keys for about six seconds: ú÷, úø, û÷

and ù. The fex21 will perform a Hard Reset, and will switch off. Press the ù

key to restart the unit.

The Hard Reset function will work whether or not the fex21 unit is switched on.

CAUTION: When you use Hard Reset, you lose the Windows operating system

registry and all data stored in RAM. You also have to re-calibrate your fex21.

For this reason, treat the Hard Reset as an emergency procedure only, and

use Soft Reset whenever possible.

NOTE: Data stored on PC Cards and CompactFlash is not affected by Soft and Hard

Reset.
