Leaving WL100 in CF slot

[outdoor]

I just want to ask if the WL100/WL110 will drain my NX's battery if its left inside the cf slot, unused and unconnected. I know the Bluetooth SD/ MS will drain since it keeps operating when its connected to the handheld.


any ideas?? I don't want to pull in/pull out freqently... thanks:)

I leave my wifi card in the slot at all times even when its in the case - it disconnects after a certain time. Have not noticed any degrade of battery with the card in.

oh you don't manually disconnect it from the prefs??? what's the idle timeout time?



*then the only thing i would pull out my WL100 is when i need to take pictures... thanks :)

I have Powersave checked - did not set up any parameter value

My WL100 card always stays in unless I am beta testing the CF Drivers. I have not noticed any difference in batttery drain. The current is so small that the RAM probably chews up a lot more power. The RAM and the Clie itsef is always powered, but it goes into a low power mode when shutoff.

if you always take out the wifi card and reinsert the plastic filler, do you think it would get lose and not hold anymore?

I on the otherhand keeps my CF Card inserted most of the time. I do have a WiFi but not a wireless Lan at home. & I find the WiFi card sticking out to be somewhat ugly. :D

eddy: do you mean "geeky"?? :D

unregistered: hmm i really don't know....... i hope it won't become lose........



anyways i don't see a difference between power saving on/off.... i keep it checked (on) btw..... no difference in speed IMO...

True for some, in my case, both NX70 Clies won't even connect with the PowerSaveMode checked. Results are mixed, go figure ;)

Always had it checkec and never been a problem - from the various thread results as I mentioend before vary. Not just for this but for lots of other appls as well
