When the display indicates "Completed. Turn the Power off
and on again," turn the power off, then on again.
If, after executing the User Backup operation, you add a file to
the Fantom-Xa's internal memory (e.g., the TMP folder), the
message "User Area Full!" may appear when you execute the
User Restore operation, making it impossible to successfully
carry out the restoration.
In this case, delete (p. 205) the file that you added after
performing the backup, and then execute the Restore operation
once again.
If there is important data you've created that's stored in the
Fantom-Xa's User memory, all such data is discarded when a
Factory Reset is performed (the data of the internal user
memory will be lost). If you want to keep the existing data,
save it on a memory card (User Backup) or save it via USB to
your computer (Using Fantom-X Librarian (p. 210)).
