Managing expansion cards
nWhen 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.
nYou 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 50 applications to a single expansion card.
nReading 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 MP3TM files from an expansion card.
nWhen 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.
