9-8. Memory
You can use two kinds of memory for M1-POS(Built-in RAM and SD Card).

1) Built-in RAM(Random-Access Memory)
RAM is volatile memory divided into Storage memory and Program memory and OS
assigns the proportion. But, OS may not control memories in case there's not enough
memory space. If you encounter the message Storage or Program memory shortage,
follow directions below.

※ How to free Storage memory?

- Move needless files and programs to Web folder. Files in the folder do not use storage
memory.

- Buy additional SD Card and move files to a SD Card.

- Delete unnecessary files.

- Delete temporary internet files for the Offline browsing in File Explorer.

- Remove programs you no longer use.

※ How to free Program memory

- Stop programs you are not currently using. Most programs are automatically closed
but it
often does not work.

- As explained above, free storage memory. Empty storage memory can be assigned as
program memory.

- Undock the device from the cradle and remove SD Card.

2) SD(Secure Digital) Card
SD Card is a small and removable flash memory that allows you to store more data.
You can back-up important data and transfer big-sized data to other devices. SD Card
is available in many electronic product shops.
