To remove a Compact Flash card

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.
