Using Compact Flash Cards

To remove a Compact Flash card

1.Close all applications on your Pocket PC that have open files on the Compact Flash card.

2.Lever the Compact Flash card out of the slot using a fingernail.

Guidelines

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

Some Compact Flash cards consume large amounts of power. To avoid excessive battery drainage when using a Compact Flash card, connect your Pocket PC to AC power wherever possible.

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

Do not turn off your Pocket PC or remove the Compact Flash card when you are in the middle of performing an operation, such as saving data to your Compact Flash card.

Keep your Compact Flash card in a protective casing when not in use to protect from dirt, moisture and static electricity.
