82 Chapter 14 Backup

Backup and restore

Backup creates an archive of everything on your device—operating system, apps, photos, music, and video.

Create an archive

1. Make sure that the SD memory card you are using to store the archive is properly inserted in
your device.
2. Open the App Drawer, and then touch Backup.
3. If this is your first archive, give the archive a name.
4. Archives always include your documents, and applications. To include pictures, music, and
videos, touch the corresponding checkboxes.
5. If this is your first archive, touch the Create Archive button. If you have previously created an
archive, touch Start Backup.

Set backup reminders

You can schedule backup reminder notices using the Reminder Interval control.
1. Open the App Drawer, and then touch Backup.
2. Touch the Backup tab, if it is not already displayed.
3. Move the slider to the desired interval: Never, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
4. On the keyboard, press the Home or Back key to close Backup and save your changes.

Restoring an archive

CAUTION: Restore deletes the entire contents of your AirLife and restores the files, and
applications contained on the archive you select. When you restore an archive, you lose the changes you have made and the files you have added since the archive was created.
1. Make sure that the SD memory card containing your archive is properly inserted in your AirLife.
2. Open the App Drawer, and then touch Backup.
3. Touch the Restore tab, if it is not already selected.
4. Select an archive from the list. In most cases, only one archive will be listed.
5. Touch Start Restore.

Backup tips

Backup cannot be used to restore individual files.
An SD memory card can only store one archive per device. If you wish to keep old archives,
you’ll need to use a different SD memory card for each archive.
For added security, remove the SD memory card after archiving a device and store the card
somewhere safe. You may want to note the date of the archive and, if you have more than one device, the device name.

Unlock SIM Card

Your SIM card has a security feature that locks it if the PIN is entered incorrectly three times. To unlock your SIM card, you will need the PIN Unlock Key (PUK). You have received your PUK from your mobile operator at the time of purchase of the SIM card. This PUK code allows you to reset your SIM card and create a new PIN for it.
When you enter a wrong PIN three times, you will be asked to enter the following information:
**05*YourPUK*YourNewPIN*YourNewPIN#
Make sure that you enter the required information exactly as instructed. Instead of the placeholders (YourPUK, YourNewPIN), you will enter your PUK code from the mobile operator and a new PIN code that you define yourself.
If you have lost your PUK, contact your mobile operator for help.
