you can restore the data back to your device For more information, see ActiveSync Help.

If the Battery Runs Low

When the battery is low, you will see a battery icon ( - main battery low, - main battery very low) in the status bar of the screen and a pop up screen to tell you to recharge the battery as soon as possible. The battery is split into two parts: main battery and backup battery. When the main battery is discharged your device will power off. However, the backup battery will preserve your data for 72 hrs. If the backup battery is discharged completely, you run the risk of losing the data that has been synchronized with ActiveSync and all applications that you have installed on your SX56.

If You Run Out of Memory

Memory on your device is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory is used to store the information you create and programs you install. Program memory is used to run programs on your device. SX56 automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when memory is low, SX56 may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If you receive a message stating that storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following solutions.
