SOFTWARE

Your Compaq Aero 2100 Series automatically recognizes a wide range of CompactFlash cards approved for use with Windows CE. If you are ever instructed to install card-specific device drivers provided by a CompactFlash card manufacturer, be sure to install only device drivers specifically designed for the Windows CE operating system on your device. If you are unclear about installation instructions, call your CompactFlash card manufacturer for more information.

OPERATING GUIDELINES

Some CompactFlash cards consume large amounts of power. To avoid battery drainage when using a CompactFlash card, connect your Compaq Aero 2100 Series to AC power wherever possible.

If the batteries are very low, you should not attempt to save data to a CompactFlash card. This may result in the loss of data. First replace the batteries or connect to AC power.

Do not turn off your Compaq Aero 2100 Series or remove the CompactFlash card when you are in the middle of performing an operation, such as saving data to your CompactFlash card.

Keep your CompactFlash card in a protective casing when not in use to protect from dirt and moisture.
