Backing up

“Backing up” means making a separate copy of your data

data to a

which can be kept in a safe place. This is the simplest

RAM card

and easiest form of insurance against losing valuable

information.

When you backup to a RAM card, any information

already on that card will be lost.

With a RAM card installed in the unit:

1. Make sure that the unit is unlocked (see p. 282). Press

and touch PERIPHERALS to open the

PERIPHERALS menu.

2. Select RAM CARD TRANSFER.

3. Select MAIN CARD (REPLACE).

A warning message appears asking if you want to

permanently delete all data on the RAM card.

4. Touch

(or

to cancel the operation).

The entries are backed up. (Backup time depends on

how much data is stored in the unit.)

Backing up data to a RAM card copies your information
onto the card. The data in your unit’s main memory is

not deleted.

l

Data copied to a RAM card can be edited, deleted and
worked with in the same way as data on the unit.

l

You MUST unlock the unit before attempting RAM card
transfers. If the unit is locked, the RAM CARD
TRANSFER function be disabled.

Restoring data from a RAM card

“Restoring” data means copying data that was backed up

to a RAM card back to the unit. To restore data, you use

nearly the same procedure as for backing up (above), but
in step 3 be sure to select CARD MAIN (REPLACE),

which copies data from the RAM card to the unit.
