Data Storage; Using A Pc Card - Siemens SIMpad SL4 User Manual

Data storage

You can save important data such as WordPad documents to the
persistent IPSM folder, to ensure permanent storage. This is important
when the device is not being used for several days and the batteries
become empty. The data in the persistent IPSM folder is saved even if the
power fails because the batteries are empty.
You will find the persistent IPSM folder in the Desktop folder (see
Page 15).

Using a PC card

You can use different PC cards, such as memory cards or communication
cards.
Depending on the PC card it may be necessary to install the appropriate
driver on the device. You can download this from the internet, copy it to
your PC and then using ActiveSync (see Page 85) install it on your SIMpad.
The PC card slot is on the rear of the device .
Rear of the device
Insert the card into the designated slot (see diagram), until it clicks. If
applicable, ensure that the coloured side is upper most. In battery mode
the following dialog box will appear.
Following a factory reset (see Page 89) the data in the IPSM
folder is deleted too.
The amount of data that can be stored in the IPSM folder is
limited to five MB. If you want to store large quantities of
information for longer periods of time, you can transfer it to a PC
(see Page 85) or store it on a PC card.
