Specifications

When you insert the card, make sure you push it all the way
into its slot and lock the locking tab. When you lock the
locking tab, your MessagePad takes a few moments to
examine the card. When your MessagePad is ready to use the
card, a slip appears with information about the card.
What you see next on your MessagePad depends on what
type of card you inserted:
m New storage card—A message appears telling you the card
cannot be read and you need to erase all of the information
on it. See the next section, “Using Storage Cards.”
m Previously used storage card—A slip appears showing the
name of the card. See the next section, “Using Storage
Cards.”
m Application card—An icon appears in the Extras Drawer.
See the section “Using Application Cards” later in this
chapter.
Important After removing a card, always insert another
card or insert the protective plastic card that came with
your MessagePad. Never use or store your MessagePad while
the card slot is empty.
Warning You may remove cards while your MessagePad is
on. However, do not remove a card while your MessagePad
is still using it, or you may lose the information stored on the
card. If you want to remove a card, wait 5–10 seconds after
storing or using the card.
