40 GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide
Memory 10
The handheld has two types of memory:
• main memory is similar to the RAM in a computer, and is used
for running programs.
• flash disk is similar to the hard disk in a computer, and is used
for storing programs and data.
Windows Mobile Version 5.0-based
devices have persistent storage. All
registry settings and data are stored
on the non-volatile disk memory.
RAM is not accessible for saving data,
and is only used for running
programs.
To check the memory capacity on the
handheld, tap / Settings /
System / Memory. The Storage and
Program columns show the current
memory available, and the total
memory (disk and RAM) that is
already in use.
SD memory cards
To save data in an alternative location to the flash disk, the
handheld has a Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card slot. You can use
SD memory cards to make copies of information and to securely
transfer data to and from another device with an SD slot.
