The information in this article applies to:
If you insert a PC Card in the PC Card socket of your Handheld PC (H/PC) while the H/PC is running on battery power, the H/PC may shut down. This behavior may occur even when the Power tool in Control Panel indicates that the batteries are "Good" or have a high percentage of battery life remaining.
NOTE: The battery status may be displayed in a different format depending on the model and manufacturer of your H/PC.
The initial power-use spike caused by the insertion of a PC Card may cause an emergency shutdown of the H/PC due to a lack of available power for the overall system.
To avoid this problem, use the AC adapter or fresh batteries to power your H/PC. If the problem persists, use the AC adapter.
