3.5 Backing Up Data

To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Yakumo alphaX GPS frequently.
Your Yakumo alphaX 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 alphaX 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 alphaX GPS to let
you easily back up data.

3.6 Adding or Removing Programs

Programs added to your Yakumo alphaX 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 alphaX GPS after factory installations are stored in RAM.
You can install any program created for your Yakumo alphaX GPS as long as your
Yakumo alphaX GPS has enough memory. The most popular place to find software
for your Yakumo alphaX GPS is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.pocketpc.com).
