NOTE
: JPEG files are picture files that are stored in a highly compressed
format. When you open a JPEG image file that is stored on your Aero
1500 Series or a CompactFlash card, your device first decompresses the
image. If, for example, the JPEG file you want to open is 50KB, you may
need up to 1500KB of free memory on your device (depending on the
file's decompression ratio) in order to decompress and view the file. If you
are unable to open a JPEG file, it may be because your device has
insufficient free memory. For memory options, contact your Compaq
authorized dealer or reseller.
Getting Images from a Desktop Computer
To transfer a bitmap or JPEG image file from a desktop computer to your
Aero 1500, or a CompactFlash card inserted in the Aero 1500, follow
these steps:
Connect your device to your desktop PC.
On your desktop computer, use ActiveSync to copy the image file to
the desired folder in the Explorer window for your device.
For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
Viewing Images Stored on a CompactFlash Card
To view an image stored on a CompactFlash card inside the Aero 1500:
Insert the CompactFlash card.
Tap View
à
à
Refresh. All bitmap and JPEG images stored on the card
will automatically appear and are available for viewing.
NOTE
:
CompactFlash cards are a good medium for storing image files so
they do not take up your device's memory. You do not have to copy an
image to your device in order to view it.
