Backing up data

You can use the

P910a Backup and Restore

PC software to back up

the contents stored in your P910a to your computer. Keeping
backups of your P910a contents on your computer means that
you have a separate copy of the contents of the P910a, which
can be restored into the P910a. Backups should be made on a
regular basis. See the online help for

P910a Backup and Restore

for

more information on how to use the application.

Note All user data will be deleted when the P910a software is
upgraded by a Service Partner. Always back up your data before
handing over the P910a for upgrading, so that you can restore it
afterwards

Preconditions

The Sony Ericsson PC Suite must be installed in the PC and the
P910a must be connected to the PC via cable.

Note Backup and restore does not work via infrared or
