Data Storage Tips The Allegro CX has a solid state storage drive used to store programs and data, named the C_Drive. The solid state internal storage is non-volatile so information stored on it is retained even when no power is supplied to the Allegro. The best way to ensure that applications and data are safe is to store them on the C_Drive or a PC Card.

Tips for Storing the Allegro CX during Inactive Periods When storing the Allegro for less than two months, we recommend that you leave the NiMH battery pack in the Allegro and attach the Allegro to the AC power adapter, or leave the Allegro in a USB/Power Dock to keep the batteries charged. Caution: Damage to the battery may occur if it is left in the Allegro for extended periods without being plugged into the wall adapter or the USB/Power Dock.
