12.3 Backing Up Files

Because any new programs or data are stored in RAM, and therefore will be lost if your device loses power for any reason, it is critical that you backup files to your computer or a memory card. When you are at your desktop you can synchronize with your computer to back up files. However, if you are going outside and unable to access your desktop, you will need to back up files to an SD or MMC card. Your device enables you to back up individual files in Word or Excel or all files in xBackup. Furthermore, you can also back up and then restore Contacts, Calendar, Internet and E-mail Settings.

SD and MMC Cards

Your device has an expansion slot compatible with a range of SD and MMC Memory cards, which are primarily used to backup or transfer files and data.

To insert or remove a memory card:

1.Push the memory card into slot until it clicks into place. ( The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base.)

2.To remove the card push it in and then release, letting the card spring out.

When you receive your device there will be a piece of plastic in the slot; remove as described in step 2 above.

Saving Word or Excel files to a Memory Card

1.Push the memory card into the slot until it clicks into place. (The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base.)

2.In application programs (e.g. Pocket Word or Excel), tap

Tools, then Options.

3.Tap the drop down menu box under Save To and select

Storage Card.
