Managing expansion cards 93 Managing expansion cards ■When writing data to an expansion card, wait for your handheld to complete the operation before removing the card from the slot. This prevents data corruption or accidental damage to the expansion card. ■You can install applications to an expansion card after performing an initial HotSync ® operation. See“Installing files and add-on applications” in Chapter 4 for information. For optimal performance, we recommend that you do not install more than fifty applications to a single expansion card. ■Reading and writing information on an expansion card uses more battery power than performing the same task on your handheld. If you have ample storage space on your handheld, consider copying the information to your handheld. NOTEYou must store and access MP3 files from an expansion card. ■When your handheld’s battery level becomes very low, access to the expansion card may be disabled to protect your data. If this occurs, recharge your handheld as soon as possible.

Chapter 8 Using Date Book 96 Scheduling an event A record in Date Book is called an event. An event can be any kind of activity that you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on any of the available time lines. When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily change the start time and duration for any event. It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book makes it easy to find such conflicts. See “Spotting event conflicts” later in this chapter. You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed event on a particular date. You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation. To schedule an event for the current day: 1.Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event. 2.Enter a description of the event. You can enter up to 255 characters. 3.If the event is one hour long, skip to step 5. If the event is longer or shorter than an hour, tap the time of the event to open the Set Time dialog box.
