Upgrading the System Memory
Many applications will run faster when the system’s memory
capacity is increased. The V1250 provides one expansion socket
located on the back of the system. You can increase memory by
adding a Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module, commonly
known as a SODIMM. Module capacity can be 256 MB or 512
MB.
Note: Your V1250 has been tested with a wide range of memory
products on the market. However, not all memory modules are
compatible. Go to www.viewsonic.com for a list of compatible
V1250 modules.
Installing a New Memory Module
Upgrading the V1250 memory is a delicate process. Please
observe the following instructions carefully or have a qualified
technician install memory for you. Damages due to mishandling
during this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Warning:
Changing memory while your computer is in suspend mode or in
power-saving mode may cause permanent damage to the V1250.
Make sure you turn off the power, unplug the AC cord, and remove
the battery before proceeding with a memory upgrade.
Do not touch a memory module’s metallic contact edge to avoid
possible damage from an electrostatic discharge.

Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to discharge any static
electricity.
