This chapter will explain how to use each function, and what the benefits are.

locked out and unable to access your data. Please note therefore the following hints:
●
Make regular backups to external storage devices such as external hard drives, CD

Some security functions need you to choose a password. Make a note of the
passwords and keep them in a safe place.
