Using Expansion Features
Your handheld provides an expansion card slot that enables you to 
add additional software applications and memory. You can also use a 
special kind of expansion card that allows you to back up your data 
when it is inconvenient to perform a HotSync
® operation. 
Note:
Battery life may vary depending on the expansion cards used.
Your handheld is also equipped with a universal connector so that 
you can easily attach and use peripheral hardware devices, such as a 
modem, portable keyboard, or a Global Positioning System (GPS) 
receiver. For information about the installation and operation of 
hardware devices, please refer to the documentation that accompanies 
each device. 
Inserting an expansion card
1. Hold your handheld securely.
2. Insert the card into the expansion card slot, following the direction 
indicated by the expansion card icon on the back panel of your 
handheld.
3. Use your thumb to push the card into the expansion slot. When 
you feel the card lock and hear the audible system sound, the card 
is properly seated within the slot.

card, and your handheld makes an audible system sound.
3. Once the slot has released the card, gently remove the card from 
the expansion card slot. 
Note:
Your handheld comes with a dummy card seated within 
the expansion card slot. To prevent debris from entering 
and damaging the slot, we suggest that you leave the 
dummy card seated when you are not using an expansion 
card.

the Applications Launcher switches to the card and displays its 
contents. The pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen displays 
the name of the card.
