Backing up data
You can use the
P908 Backup and Restore
PC software to back up
the contents stored in your P908 to your computer. Keeping
backups of your P908 contents on your computer means that
you have a separate copy of the contents of the P908, which can
be restored into the P908. Backups should be made on a regular
basis. See the online help for
P908 Backup and Restore
for more
information on how to use the application.
Note All user data will be deleted when the P908 software is
upgraded by a Service Partner. Always back up your data before
handing over the P908 for upgrading, so that you can restore it
afterwards
