4.2.5 Securing Your Information

There are no known problems with passing the netpad through airport security machines and other X-rays.

There are several things that you can do to secure your files against other hazards.

•To prevent accidental alterations to the contents of a file, the file can be made “read-only”. For more information see Chapter 5: “Files, Folders, and Programs”.

•To prevent accidental loss of data, files should be backed up regularly (see “Backing Up To Multimedia Cards” on page 40), in case they become cor- rupted or are deleted accidentally.

•To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, a password can be set to restrict access to data files.

•Enter owner information so that the netpad can be returned if it is lost. See “Entering Owner and Password Information” on page 36.

Note: It is not possible for anyone to copy information from or to your machine using Infrared, unless they are able to access its Infrared ‘Send’ and ‘Receive’ commands on the netpad.
