When do you need to turn off your Palmtop?

You don't need to turn your Palmtop off when you insert or remove either the serial cable or the adapter cord.

You should turn off your palmtop when inserting or swapping any PCMCIA cards. Some of these cards draw a brief surge of power when inserted. This surge can briefly drop the voltage of the batteries enough to reboot the palmtop, or even corrupt the C: drive.
