Infrared Communications
The infrared port of this unit can be used to exchange data with another CASSIOPEIA,
or with another device equipped with infrared communication capabilities. Remember
that the two infrared ports must be pointed directly at each other when performing
communications. The distance between the two infrared ports must be less than 20 cm.
See the Pocket PC User’s Guide for full details on performing infrared communications.
For infrared data communications with another device, the other device must conform
with IrDA 1.2 standards, and it must specifically support infrared data communication
with a CASSIOPEIA.
Important
•Take care so either of the units does not move while infrared data communications
are in progress.
•Infrared data communications may be impossible under strong sunlight or inverter
type fluorescent lighting.
•Infrared data communication problems can be caused by the distance between the
two ports, the angle between the two ports, outdoor sunlight, and low batteries.
•Dirt and dust on the infrared port surface can cause communications errors and other
problems. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the port clean of dirt and dust.
Using a CompactFlash Card
Your CASSIOPEIA supports Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards (3.3V).
Important 
•The card slot cover will not close when certain types of cards are in the slot. Remove the
card slot cover and keep it in a safe place so you can replace it when you remove the card.
•Gently but firmly slide the card into place as far as it will go, but do not force it.
Forcing a card can damage connectors. If you have problems inserting a card, pull it
out and check to make sure it is oriented correctly.
•We strongly recommend that you store all unsaved data you are inputting or editing
before performing this procedure.
•Sometimes, your CASSIOPEIA may not be able to detect a CompactFlash card. This is
indicated when a program on the card does not start up normally. When this happens,

Important
Be sure to observe the following important battery handling precautions. Failure to do
so can cause batteries to leak, resulting in damage to surrounding items and create the
danger of fire and electrical shock.
•Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of the batteries are
oriented correctly.
•Use only the types of batteries specified for use with this unit.
•Charge the battery pack in an area where the temperature is between 10
°C (50°F)
and 35
°C (95°F). Charging in areas that are very cold or exposed to direct sunlight
can cause deterioration and leaking of the battery pack.
•To avoid deterioration and leaking, the battery pack is designed to discharge even
when you do not use the CASSIOPEIA. Be sure to recharge the battery pack at least
once every three months, regardless of how much you use the CASSIOPEIA during
that time.
•A battery pack that loses power too quickly after it is charged is probably near the
end of its service life. In such a case, you have to purchase a new battery pack.
Replacing the Main Battery
1. Make sure your CASSIOPEIA is turned off.
•Press the [Power] button to turn off power.
2. Turn the CASSIOPEIA over.
