Managing expansion cards
■ When writing data to an expansion card, wait for your handheld to complete
the operation before removing the card from the slot. This prevents data
corruption or accidental damage to the expansion card.
■ You can install applications to an expansion card after performing an initial
HotSync
®
operation. See “Installing add-on applications” in Chapter 4 for
information. For optimal performance, we recommend that you do not install
more than fifty applications to a single expansion card.
■ Reading and writing information on an expansion card uses more battery
power than performing the same task on your handheld. If you have ample
storage space on your handheld, consider copying the information to your
handheld.
■ When your handheld’s battery level becomes very low, access to the expansion
card may be disabled to protect your data. If this occurs, recharge your
handheld as soon as possible.
