3.5 Backing Up Data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Yakumo alpha GPS frequently.
Your Yakumo alpha GPS comes with two programs for backing up data:
Microsoft ActiveSync
.
ActiveSync enables you to back up data to your desktop computer. You can
back up all data on your Yakumo alpha GPS or only your PIM databases
(Calendar, Contacts and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up
automatically each time you connect or you can back up manually, whenever
you choose. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop
computer.
Backup Restore
A utility called Backup Restore is supplied with your Yakumo alpha GPS to let
you easily back up data.
3.6 Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Yakumo alpha GPS at the factory are stored in ROM
(Read-Only Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never
accidentally lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to your
Yakumo alpha GPS after factory installations are stored in RAM.
You can install any program created for your Yakumo alpha GPS as long as your
Yakumo alpha GPS has enough memory. The most popular place to find software
for your Yakumo alpha GPS is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.pocketpc.com).
