CE PDA
Flash Memory
In addition to the RAM-based storage standard on Windows CE .NET
terminals, the PDA is also equipped with a
DiskOnChip
Flash-based
application and file storage area.
Saving to Flash:
To save an application or data to the Flash Memory,
from your current application, select
File > Save As >
navigate to the
Dis-
kOnChip
location as described below.

DiskOnChip Location.
To access the contents of
DiskOnChip
storage:
1. Double-tap the
My Computer
icon on the desktop.
2. Double-tap the
DiskOnChip
icon to view
DiskOnChip
.
Use only Falcon 4220 docks with Falcon 4220 Windows CE .NET devices.
It is very important to make sure that the Falcon is firmly seated in the dock to initiate battery
charging and ActiveSync communication with the Host PC.
The
DiskOnChip
storage memory persists across all reset (warm/cold reboot) conditions and
software / firmware updates.
Because of this, PSC very strongly recommends installing all applications, applets, programs,
and important data files to the
DiskOnChip
Flash location.
If an application or a data file is only installed or saved in RAM, a hard reset will result in the loss
of that application or data file.
