Checking Memory Usage on Your PageWriter 2000X
The FLEX PC Partner Memory Usage partlet enables you to
monitor the allocation of persistent storage on your pager. When
the Memory Usage partlet indicates that the free memory on your
pager is getting low, you can increase the free memory level by
deleting old messages or applications.
The memory usage levels refer to
persistent flash storage
(anal-
ogous to the hard drive on your PC) rather than
volatile memory
(RAM). The Memory Usage partlet does not monitor RAM.
To check memory usage on your pager:
1. Snap your pager into the charger.
2. On your pager, select
from the menu wheel,
then select
and wait for the Connection Status screen.
3. On your PC, open the FLEX PC Partner Shell, double-click

Caution!
All data on your pager (saved messages, Address Book

Address Book on your pager after the last backup to
your PC, you will lose those changes during this
restore.

If you add or delete information from your pager while
Memory Usage is open, click Refresh to update the memory
usage information.
