GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide 35
Getting Started 2
Storing data
The handheld has two types of memory:
• Storage memory is similar to the hard disk in a
computer, and is used for storing programs and
data.
• Program memory is similar to the RAM in a
computer, and is used for running programs. You
cannot use it to save data.
To check the storage capacity on the handheld, tap
/ Settings / System / Memory. The Storage and
Program columns show the current memory available,
and the memory that is already in use.
Pre-installed documents and program files are not
affected by power loss or resetting. However, you can still lose data if you accidentally
delete or overwrite it.
C
CAUTION – The Windows Mobile version 6.5 operating system does not include a Recycle
Bin. When you delete files from the handheld, they are deleted permanently.
Trimble recommends that you regularly copy important data to an office computer.
For more information, see Connecting to an Office Computer, page 55.
Storage cards
As an alternative to internal storage, you can save data to a removable card. Use either
an SD or SDHC (high capacity SD) card to securely transfer data to and from another
device that supports SD or SDHC cards.
Note – The GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld does not support SDIO (Secure Digital
Input/Output) or SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) cards.
C
WARNING – The presence of any dust or moisture in the storage card slot may adversely
affect the device and void your Trimble warranty. To prevent dust or moisture entering
the storage card slot:
– Make certain that the storage card slot door is attached correctly when you are using
the handheld outdoors.
– When inserting or removing a storage card, place the handheld on a dust-free indoor
surface.
C
WARNING – Static electricity can harm electronic components inside the handheld. To
prevent static damage:
– Discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components inside your device, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an
unpainted metal surface.
To insert an SD or SDHC card:
1. Place the handheld on a dust-free indoor surface.
2. Flip open the storage card slot door on the side of the handheld.
