Storing data

The handheld has several types of memory available:

  • Program memory (2 GB for all models) is used for running apps. You cannot use it to save data.

  • Internal storage is used for storing apps and private app data, as well as the Android operating system. Full capacity of this storage memory is 64 GB. Actual space available is less, due to operating system installation.

  • Removable SD card refers to microSD cards inserted into the handheld's removable SD card slot. A microSD card up to 128 GB can be used.

When the handheld is connected to a computer (see Connecting to an office computer), you can copy files to and from internal storage or an SD card if you have inserted one.

To check the memory capacity on the handheld, on the Home screen, tap Settings/ Storage.

It is recommended that you regularly copy important data to an office computer. For more information, see Connecting to an office computer.

Memory cards

As an alternative to storage memory, you can save data to a memory card. Use a microSD memory card to securely store data, or transfer data to and from another device that supports microSD memory cards.

The device supports up to 128 GB SDHC microSD storage cards.

The presence of any dust or moisture in the memory card slot may adversely affect the device and void your warranty. To prevent dust or moisture entering the memory card slot, when inserting or removing a memory card, place the handheld on a dust-free indoor surface.

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your handheld. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components inside your device, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
