How Do I Manage Available Storage?
Your HP iPAQ normally manages main memory (default
location) as available space back and forth between storage
memory (memory used to store data and document files) and
program memory (memory used to run programs) as needed.
Main memory is any type of memory, except storage cards or
iPAQ File Store. If the battery in your HP iPAQ completely
discharges, all of the files in main memory are lost. However, any
files that are stored on Secure Digital (SD), SDIO (Secure Digital
IO), or MultiMedia (MMC) cards or in the iPAQ File Store are
not lost.
If you have an iPAQ rx3700 series, the iPAQ File Store is
available for saving your files. By saving most of your files in
iPAQ File Store, you can take full advantage of the memory
capacity of your HP iPAQ. You can also store your data files on
storage cards.
If you have an iPAQ rx3100 or rx3400 series, it is recommended
that you save most of your files on SD or MMC cards to
maximize the main memory. By saving your data files to storage
cards, the iPAQ rx3100 or rx3400 series can use its main memory
to run programs.
However, there are a variety of ways you can manage storage
space yourself to maximize the memory capacity of your HP
iPAQ. You can choose any or all of the options below.
Option A: Using Main Memory
Main memory is any type of memory, except SD and MMC
storage cards or iPAQ File Store. The preinstalled applications on
your HP iPAQ use the main memory. Also, many of your data
files are stored in main memory.
To check the amount of main memory on your HP iPAQ, click
