    Your handheld comes with a Security application so that

    In Security, you can do the following:
    nLock and turn off your handheld so that it does not operate until 
    you enter the correct password.

    appears greyed out. 
    nHide all records that you mark as private so they do not appear on 
    any screen. 
    You can mask and hide private records with or without a password. 
    Without a password, private records are hidden or masked until you 
    set the Security application to show them. With a password, you must 
    enter the password to view the private entries. See “Making records 
    private” in Chapter 5 for information on making records private.

    handheld. Deleting a forgotten password also deletes all entries and 
    files marked as Private.
    Important:If you synchronize with your computer before deleting a 
    forgotten password, your handheld restores your private 
    entries the next time you perform a HotSync operation, 
    but it does not restore the password.

    Using Expansion Features
    Your handheld provides an expansion card slot that enables you to 
    add additional software applications and memory. You can also use a 
    special kind of expansion card that allows you to back up your data 
    when it is inconvenient to perform a HotSync
    ® operation. 
    So that you can easily attach and use peripheral hardware devices, 
    such as a modem, portable keyboard, or a Global Positioning System 
    (GPS) receiver, your handheld is equipped with a universal connector. 
    For information about the installation and operation of hardware 
    devices, please refer to the documentation that accompanies each 
    device. 
    Inserting an expansion card
    1. Hold your handheld securely.
    2. Insert the card into the expansion card slot, following the direction 
    indicated by the expansion card icon on the back panel of your 
    handheld. 
    						
    							Page 60  Using Expansion Features
    3. Use your thumb to push the card into the expansion slot. When 
    you feel the card lock and hear the audible system sound, the card 
    is properly seated within the slot.
    Removing an expansion card
    1. Hold your handheld securely.
    2. Use your thumb to push against the top of the card, as if you were 
    pushing it further into the slot. The expansion card slot releases the 
    card, and your handheld makes an audible system sound.
    3. Once the slot has released the card, gently remove the card from 
    the expansion card slot. 
    Note: Your handheld comes with a dummy card seated within 
    the expansion card slot. To prevent debris from entering 
    and damaging the slot, we suggest that you leave the 
    dummy card seated when you are not using an expansion 
    card.
    Opening expansion card applications
    When an expansion card is properly seated in the expansion card slot, 
    the Applications Launcher switches to the card and displays its 
    contents. The pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen displays 
    the name of the card.
    To open an application on an expansion card:
    nTap the icon of the application that you want to open.
