Mass storage devices (e.g.memory drives) and USB Human Interface Devices (HID) (e.g.keyboards) are supported. Before purchasing a USB peripheral,check with the manufacturer to ensure that it will operate withone of these natively supported USB classes. Some devices haveno applicability in Windows Embedded Handheld. For example,mice do not make sense to use with your unit because it isdesigned to be touchscreen or keypad operated.5
Unit Setup1. Install the SD card (if desired)1. Lift up the plastic regulatory label inthe battery compartment.2. Gently slide the SD card into the slot.3.
