But you can do much more when you share, manage, and work with information between your handheld and a computer. Your handheld includes a large internal flash drive so that you can carry more of your documents, folders, photos, and music with you. View, create, or work on files on your handheld, and then copy the updated version back to your computer.

The internal drive saves information on your handheld, including information in the program memory, even if the battery drains completelynone of your information is lost. Simply recharge to access the information again. Tip To view the complete list of Palm OS applications on your handheld, go to Applications and select HotSync. Open the Options menu and select Conduit Setup. All of the applications listed on the Conduit Setup screen are Palm OS applications located in your handhelds program memory. Program memory and the internal drive Your handheld contains two types of storage: program memory and the internal flash drive. Program memory Your handheld includes 55MB of program memory for Palm OS applications such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos. Information in the program memory is updated during synchronization. For example, if you enter contact information on your computer, you can synchronize to update the info in Contacts on your handheld, and any future updates to the info are included in synchronization. The info for each Palm OS applicationfor example, individual contact entriesmay be stored in your handhelds program memory, or it may be stored on your handhelds internal flash drive. You can view and work with this information from within the application itself. You cannot, however, view any info stored in program memory directly using Files or palmOne File Transfer. Internal flash drive The 160MB internal drive works similarly to other standard USB removable drives. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on this drive on your handheld. View and access the contents of the internal drive using the Files application on your handheld, or view the contents using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac) on your computer. You can manage items on the internal drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on, using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac), or Files on your handheld. You can also use File Transfer to save the contents of the internal drive to your Windows computer. Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card. You can view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your handheld, and manage your files on a card using File Transfer or Drive Mode. You can also access the files on the internal drive or on an expansion card by opening the corresponding application and browsing to the file. Tungsten T5 Handheld 75 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer Did You Know?
Keeping files in their native format is useful. On your handheld you can work with many of these native files, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and JPG files. You can also use File Transfer or Drive Mode to carry native files, even files that you cannot open on your handheld, to work with on a different computer. Tip If you have an expansion card inserted into your handhelds expansion slot, you can view and work with files and folders on the card in the File Transfer window in exactly the same way as files on the internal drivecopying, moving, and so on. How can I work with information?
There are two main methods for moving and managing information between your handheld and a computer. These methods are discussed in detail in this chapter. Synchronization Synchronization updates and backs up information between your handhelds program memory and your computer. Information entered in one place is automatically updated in the other, and info in your handhelds program memory is backed up on your computer. Use Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook to enter information on your computer in applications such as Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Memos. The info is transferred to the corresponding handheld application when you synchronize. Information entered in these applications on the handheld is likewise synchronized with the application in the desktop software. On Windows computers, Palm Desktop software includes both palmOne Media, which you can use to transfer photos and videos to your handheld, and palmOne Quick Install, which installs applications (PRC or PDB) for use on your handheld when you synchronize. NOTE On Mac computers, use the Send To Handheld droplet to transfer photos and videos and install applications on your handheld when you synchronize. When you transfer a file to your handheld through synchronization, the file, such as a video, may be converted for best use on (optimized for) your handheld. File Transfer (Windows only) Use File Transfer to transfer files and folders to your handhelds large internal flash drive. On your handheld, to open a file on the internal drive, use Files and select the file, or open the appropriate application and browse to the file. File Transfer provides a live window to your handhelds internal drive and copies or moves the items you select instantly; you do not need to synchronize. Files remain in their native format and are not optimized for use on your handheld. Unlike the program memory, your handheld's internal drive is not automatically backed up during synchronizationbut you can use File Transfer to save the contents of the internal drive to your computer. NOTE On Mac computers, use Drive Mode to transfer info to your handhelds internal drive. Tungsten T5 Handheld 76 CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer When would I use each method?
The method you use to move info onto your handheld depends on the type of info it is. Here are the methods to use with the most common information types. 0 Information in Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Memos, Note Pad

Discovery is the process in which your handheld searches for other Bluetooth devices within its range (approximately thirty feet). As each device is discovered, it shows up in your Discovery Results. After you find the devices you are looking for, you can select the devices with which you want to connect. The Bluetooth application on your handheld can be turned on and off, and the application has a Discoverable setting that can also be turned on and off. The following is a description of setting combinations and the resulting discovery states:
Bluetooth Off: When the Bluetooth setting is off, other users cannot discover your handheld. This is similar to locking your door with a dead bolt and a security chain, and disabling the doorbell. When Bluetooth is off, you cannot access the Discoverable setting. Bluetooth On and Discoverable No: When your handheld and Bluetooth are on and the Discoverable setting is set to No, you can receive connections only from devices with which you have previously formed a trusted pair. This is similar to locking your door with a dead bolt and disabling the doorbell, but any friends who already have the key can enter. By default, the Discoverable setting is enabled when Bluetooth is on. Bluetooth On and Discoverable Yes: When your handheld is on, Bluetooth is on, and the Discoverable setting is set to Yes, you can receive connections from any Bluetooth device. You are automatically connected with devices with which you have previously communicated, but you can refuse invitations to connect with unrecognized devices. This is similar to locking your front door with a dead bolt and enabling the doorbell. Friends who already have the key can enter freely, and if someone without a key rings the bell to request a connection, you can choose to open the door or ignore the request.

Before You Begin Before you can set up an email account on your handheld, you must do the following:
If you dont already have one, establish an account with an Internet service provider such as Earthlink or a wireless carrier such as Cingular. You can also use a corporate email account.
For wireless accounts only: Have active service with a wireless carrier and a mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. You must also set up a phone connection on your handheld. (Not required if you want to access email over your companys Bluetooth network.) Tungsten T5 Handheld 277 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages About email accounts The VersaMail application is software that lets you access email on your handheld from an account with an email provider (such as Earthlink or Yahoo!) or from your corporate email account. For each email account you want to access, you must set up an account on your handheld. For example, if you have an Earthlink account and a corporate account, set up one account for each. You can create up to eight email accounts on your handheld. IMPORTANT
VersaMail application works with these accounts to transfer messages to your handheld. The application is not an email service provider. You must have an account with an email provider or a corporate account. The Account and connection types You can set up two types of email accounts on your handheld:
Wireless Send and receive email directly to and from your handheld using the built-in Bluetooth technology or by positioning the IR port on your handheld so that it can beam to the IR port on your mobile phone. Synchronize Only (Windows computers only) Transfer messages from the email application on your computer (such as Microsoft Outlook) to your handheld by synchronizing. You cant send and receive messages wirelessly for this type of account. Using an email provider If you are setting up a new email account and have a well-known email provider (Internet service provider, or ISP) such as Earthlink or Yahoo!, many of the required settings during the account setup are automatically configured. For other ISPs, you need the following information:
The protocol used for incoming mail, such as Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)

Your accounts security feature (if it has one), such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Authenticated Post Office Protocol (APOP), or Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (ESMTP)
Your email address and password Go to your email providers website or contact their customer support to obtain this information. Using a corporate email account If you want to access email on your handheld using your corporate email account, you create this account on your handheld in exactly the same way as any other account, with one exception: for a corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN). If your company has a Bluetooth network located behind the corporate firewall, or if you are using an 802.11b (also called Wi-Fi) SDIO card (go to www.palmOne.com to check on the availability of these cards) in your handheld and your company has an 802.11b network located behind the corporate firewall, you may not need to set up a VPN to access your corporate email account. See the following section for details. Before you set up a corporate email account, check with your companys system administrator to get the following information:
Username and password This might be your Windows username and password, your Lotus Notes ID username and password, or something else. The VersaMail application provides strong 128-bit AES encryption for your password. Protocol Many corporate mail servers use the IMAP protocol for retrieving mail. In rare cases, your company server may use the POP protocol. NOTE Some corporate mail servers do not use either protocol. If so, you cannot send and receive email wirelessly from your handheld. You can synchronize email on your handheld with email in Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes on your computer. Tungsten T5 Handheld 279 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Incoming and outgoing mail server settings Check with your companys system administrator to obtain these settings. With a corporate email account, you may be able to access the following types of mail servers, among others:
Microsoft Exchange
IBM Lotus Domino
Sun iPlanet VPNs If you want to access email on your handheld using your corporate email account, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your handheld. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate mail server through the companys firewall (security layer). Without a VPN, you cannot pass through the firewall to gain access to the mail server. You need to set up a VPN to access corporate email in either of the following situations:
Your companys wireless local area network (LAN) is located outside the firewall.
Your companys wireless LAN is located inside the firewall, but you are trying to access the network from outside the firewall (for example, from a public location or at home). Check with your companys system administrator to see if a VPN is required to access the corporate network. The auto get mail with notification feature in the VersaMail application may not work with a VPN connection. Also, you cannot use scheduled sending retry of email with accounts that use a VPN connection. Tungsten T5 Handheld 280 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Creating an account The steps for creating an account are different depending on how you plan to send and receive email:

Done Tungsten T5 Handheld 292 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Selecting a different service for an email account When you set up a phone connection on your handheld, you pair each connection with a network service. You also select one of these services to be the default for all network activity on your handheld, including sending and receiving email. For any given email account, however, you can switch to a different service for that account only. For example, the default service you have selected for your handheld may be called Bluetooth and may use your handhelds built-in Bluetooth functionality to make a connection to your corporate mail server. However, for your Earthlink account, you may want to switch to the service called IR, which uses your handhelds IR port to make a connection to your email service provider through your mobile phone. When you exit the VersaMail application, the service disconnects (unless you are using the default service for your handheld). When you reopen the application, the email account you selected
(Earthlink in this example) continues to connect using the new connection (IR in this example) until you either select a new service or uncheck the Always connect using box. If you uncheck the Always connect using box, the email account (Earthlink) connects using the default handheld service (Bluetooth in this example). The Always connect using box changes the connection service for the selected email account only. You must follow the procedure for each email account whose connection you want to switch from the default connection on your handheld. Tungsten T5 Handheld 293 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Tip If there is an existing service connection, it is disconnected and the new connection is initiated.

When a notification appears on the Reminders screen, select the notification to go to the Inbox of that account, or launch the VersaMail application and go to that account. Once you view a message in the Inbox, the message is removed from the Reminders screen, even if you dont open it. Auto get then starts at the next scheduled interval, with the Reminders screen counter reset to 1. If you dont go to the Inbox of the selected account and another scheduled email retrieval finds new messages, the Reminders screen adds the number of new messages to the notification for that account. For example, if scheduled auto get #1 finds two new messages and, before you view Tungsten T5 Handheld 304 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages the Inbox, scheduled auto get #2 takes place and finds three more new messages, the Reminders screen notification indicates five new messages for that account. If auto get discovers new messages but then fails for any reason, the Reminders screen shows the account name and an error message. You can select the error message or open the VersaMail application for that account for more detailed information on the failed auto get. You can choose to disable notifications for auto get mail failures. Auto get mail retries If the interval for a scheduled auto get is set at Every 1 hour or less frequently, and an auto get fails for any reason, the VersaMail application tries to retrieve email every 30 minutes until either the next scheduled auto get occurs or the end time for scheduled email retrieval is reached. If the interval is set for more frequently than Every 1 hour, the VersaMail application waits until the next scheduled auto get. Tungsten T5 Handheld 305 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Resource issues with auto get mail The auto get mail feature can cause the following resource constraints:
Decreased battery life If you set the auto get interval for more often than once per hour, your handhelds battery charge may drain more quickly, and you may need to recharge the battery more frequently. Increased monthly charges Some wireless providers, such as Cingular or T-Mobile, charge a fee for data transactions. If you use one of these providers, using the auto get feature can substantially add to your monthly charges. This is especially true for POP accounts, because POP messages take longer to download than IMAP messages. If you primarily retrieve messages over your companys network (Bluetooth or 802.11b network), monthly charges should not be an issue. If you are concerned about resource issues, set your interval for email auto get to retrieve messages no more frequently than once per hour.

Done Tungsten T5 Handheld 362 CHAPTER 15 Sending and Receiving Email Messages Tip Create a filter, for example, so that whenever you receive email about sales meetings, it goes immediately into a folder you create called Sales. Or create a filter so that stock quotes sent to you by your online brokerage service go to a folder you create called Finance. Creating and using filters Filters provide efficient ways to manage email retrieval and storage. When you select Get Mail or Get & Send, filters determine which email messages are downloaded to your handheld and in which folder the downloaded messages are stored. IMPORTANT If you create a filter, only messages that meet the filter criteria are downloaded
to your handheld. You dont see any other messages that have been sent to you, even in your Inbox. To avoid this, you must set up two filters. For example, suppose you create a filter to have all messages with onlinebroker in the From field moved to your Finance folder. You must then create a second filter, specifying that all mail NOT containing onlinebroker in the From field should be moved to the Inbox (or other folder you designate). If you dont create this second filter, only messages containing onlinebroker in the From field are downloaded to your handheld. 0 1 2 Go to Favorites and select VersaMail

When I synchronize, I receive the 8009 error message: An application has failed to respond to a HotSync notification. WINDOWS ONLY The 8009 error indicates that the Windows registry is corrupt. You need to rebuild the HotSync Manager registry entries. For information on rebuilding the registry entries, go to www.palmOne.com/intl/support and search the palmOne Knowledge Library for error 8009. My files didnt install during synchronization.
If files do not install after you synchronize, the file type was not recognized. On your handheld, open the application associated with those files. Then synchronize again. If the files remain in the palmOne Quick Install list on your computer (Windows only), they are not associated with an application on your handheld and cannot be installed by synchronizing. You can install the files using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac).
If you are trying to install files to an expansion card, make sure that a card is inserted into your handhelds expansion slot before you synchronize. I cant add more files to the palmOne Quick Install list. Make sure the dialog box that confirms where the files will be installed is closed. You cannot add more files to the list when the confirmation dialog box is open. Tungsten T5 Handheld 598 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions When I add a zipped file (ZIP) to Quick Install, some of the files dont appear in the Quick Install list. Unzip the file with a file compression utility, such as WinZip, and then add the unzipped files to Quick Install. I receive an authentication error when I try to synchronize wirelessly through a LAN access point.

Try to synchronize. If synchronizing doesnt work, palmOne File Transfer doesnt work, either.
If File Transfer was working but stops, disconnect and reconnect your handheld. If this does not solve the problem, perform a soft reset. I cant see a file I moved from my computer to my handheld. Your handheld stores information in two locations: program memory and the internal flash drive. When you view files on your handheld using File Transfer on your computer or Files on your handheld, only files on the internal drive are displayed. If you used palmOne Quick Install to move a file to your handheld, depending on the file type, the file may be located in your handhelds program memory. If this is the case, you cant view the file using File Transfer or Files, but you can access it by using the appropriate application. If you want to be able to see the file in the File Transfer window or the Files screen, copy it to your handhelds internal drive using File Transfer. Tungsten T5 Handheld 600 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions I made updates to a file on my handheld, but when I synchronize, the changes dont show up in the file on my computer. If you use File Transfer to send a file to your handheld, any updates you make to the file on your handheld are not included when you synchronize. Use File Transfer to copy the updated file back to your computer. File transfer is taking place slowly. If you are working with large files or using large applications such as games on your handheld, file transfer may go more slowly. Quit all handheld applications to speed file transfer. When I try to delete a file using File Transfer, a message appears saying the file is busy. If you are working with a file on your handheldfor example, editing a document or listening to a music fileyou cannot delete the file using File Transfer. Close the file on your handheld and then delete it. I cant write a memo or enter a contact when my handheld is in Drive Mode. When your handheld is in Drive Mode, it works just like any external drive such as a CD drive. You cannot enter or work with information directly on your handheld while it is in Drive Mode. To work with information directly on your handheld, turn Drive Mode off. When your handheld is in Drive Mode and is connected to a computer, you can open files from your handhelds internal drive on the computer using Windows Explorer or My Computer (on a Windows computer) or Finder (on a Mac computer), and work with them there. Your handheld still displays alerts, such as for appointments or new email messages, when in Drive Mode. Tungsten T5 Handheld 601 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions My handheld and/or the expansion card is not showing up as a drive in Windows Explorer or My Computer when I have the handheld in Drive Mode. WINDOWS ONLY When you turn on Drive Mode, connect your handheld to your computer, and then open My Computer or Windows Explorer, the window you open shows two new drives. These drives are assigned the next available drive letters, for example, E:, F:, and so on. If no letters are available because you have multiple external devices connected to your computer (such as a card reader or a camera), or because you are using mapped network drives, the window does not display your handheld or the expansion card as a drive. To display them, remove some of the external devices connected to your computer, or remove some of the mapped network drives. Calendar I selected the Today button, but it does not show the correct date. Make sure the Set Date box on the Date & Time Preferences screen displays the current date. I created an event, but it doesnt appear in Week View.

If you have two or more events with the same start time, the events appear as multiple bars starting at the same time in Week View. To see the overlapping events, select the individual bars, or select Day View. For more information, see Finding events that overlap.
If you marked the event as private, check Security Preferences to see that Private Records is set to Show private records. Tungsten T5 Handheld 602 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions Time zones dont appear on my Palm Desktop software. Palm Desktop software does not recognize time zones. Only Outlook recognizes times zones. I set the global time zone preference, but only some of my events are responding to my time zone change. Only new events created after the preference is set are affected. The events you created earlier without time zones do not have the time zone set. You can edit the earlier events to include a time zone. I created my event with a time zone, but only that event is responding to my time zone change. When you create an event with a time zone setting, only that event is affected. To have all events automatically include a time zone setting, set the New events include time zones preference. Memos Im having problems listing memos the way I want to see them. If you cannot manually arrange the order of memos on the list screen, open the Options menu and select Preferences. Make sure that Sort by is set to Manual. If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Palm Desktop software and then synchronize, the memos on your handheld still appear in the order defined in the Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings you use with Palm Desktop software are not transferred to your handheld. Tungsten T5 Handheld 603 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions Note Pad Im having problems listing notes the way I want to see them. If you cannot manually arrange the order of notes on the list screen, select Preferences from the Options menu and make sure that Sort by is set to Manual. If you choose to view your notes alphabetically on Palm Desktop software and then synchronize, the notes on your handheld still appear in the order defined in the Preferences setting.

Select the pick list in the upper-right corner of Applications View and select Multimedia. You should now see an icon for the Media application. In Favorites View, the entry associated with the Media application is called Photos & Videos. You can edit the Favorites list to change this to Media, as well as to create or change any other favorite file, folder, web link, or application. RealPlayer I would like better-quality sound during playback. You can save music files in either MP3 or RMJ format. RMJ is a proprietary format used by the RealPlayer desktop. In either case, saving at a lower bit rate creates a smaller file size, but also gives a lower playback quality. Increase the bit rate to improve playback sound quality, but remember that this increases file size. Tungsten T5 Handheld 604 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions My music file stutters during playback. WINDOWS ONLY If you are transferring files using File Transfer and you are listening to music files on your handheld, the music playback may stutter. Wait until the file transfer is finished to listen to the music file. When I save songs from a CD, I do not see the song title or artist name. When capturing songs from a CD, you must have an active Internet connection to obtain song title and artist information. This information is supplied from the GraceNote server on the web. Tasks The info I entered does not appear in an application.

Verify both your password and your username for your email account.
If you are connecting using a mobile phone through the built-in Bluetooth technology on your handheld, a cable, or the IR port on your handheld, verify that you have either a data-enabled GSM or a high-speed GPRS account with your wireless service provider.
Some wireless service providers require you to be on their network to use your email account. If this is the case, be sure to use your providers network as the connection type for the account.
Some wireless service providers have other requirements specific to their service. For example, Yahoo! requires you to pay for a POP account in order to download email messages from your Yahoo! account to your handheld. Check with your service provider to see if any provider-
specific requirements exist. Tungsten T5 Handheld 607 CHAPTER 28 Common Questions
Service provider settings frequently change. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your service provider to see if any of the account settings have changed. I am having problems sending and receiving email.
Short periods of time when email is unavailable are common due to server problems or poor wireless coverage. If you have problems sending or receiving mail for an extended period of time, check with your ISP or email service provider to verify that the service is working properly.
Make sure your ISP or email provider allows you to send and receive email on a wireless handheld. Several providers, like Hotmail, do not offer this option at all. My auto get mail is not working.
If auto get is occurring and you turn your handheld off or the connection to your email service provider is disconnected, the auto get fails.
If you are attempting an auto get over a network, you must be in range of a network access point for the auto get to work.
The auto get feature may not work with your specific VPN connection. It doesnt work for SSL connections, or if you have set up the security preferences on your handheld to encrypt databases on the handheld.
Your handheld must be able to make periodic connections to the Internet through your Bluetooth mobile phone or a Bluetooth access point. If your handheld is not within range of a Bluetooth device that allows it to connect to the Internet, auto get mail does not take place. I can receive email fine, but am having problems sending email. If you are able to receive email messages but cannot send them, try these steps, in turn:

Turn on ESMTP. Many services require authenticated access to use their SMTP servers, or ESMTP.
Enter the name of a different outgoing mail server for sending mail. Many ISPs, such as cable companies, require that you have an Internet connection to their network to send email through their servers. In this case, you can almost always receive email from these accounts, but if you want to send email, you must send it through another server. I cant download any messages. If the program memory on your handheld fills up, you cannot download any more messages to your handheld. Delete some messages to free up program memory, and try downloading again. I am unable to synchronize messages. Make sure you have chosen the same settings for the account on both your handheld and your computer. For example, if the account is set up on your handheld to use the POP protocol, check the HotSync Manager on your computer to make sure that POP is selected as the protocol for that account.

Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock -- the discharge event -- when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity. Tungsten T5 Handheld 621 ESD-susceptible equipment Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your palmOne handheld, from ESD harm. While palmOne has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur. Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from palmOne is that you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
Ground yourself when youre holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground.
For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.
Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats. Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
Low relative humidity.
Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect electronic devices. While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
