3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Always use the Change Battery function when you change the battery.
If you do not use the Change Battery function when changing the battery, you may lose collected data and/or
corrupt the memory card. Also, you may have to reset the Handheld.
Always return to the Home screen before removing the memory card.
This helps avoid corrupting data that you collected with the Handheld and saved to the memory card.
