4.2.5 Securing Your Information

There are no known problems with passing the netpad through airport security

machines and other X-rays.

There are several things that you can do to secure your files against other hazards.

•

To prevent accidental alterations to the contents of a file, the file can be

made "read-only". For more information see Chapter 5: "Files, Folders,

And Programs".

•

To prevent accidental loss of data, files should be backed up regularly (see

"Backing Up To Multimedia Cards" on page 58), in case they become cor-

rupted or are deleted accidentally.

•

To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, a password can be

set to restrict access to data files.

•

Enter owner information so that the netpad can be returned if it is lost. See

"Entering Owner and Password Information" on page 52.

Note: It is not possible for anyone to copy information from or to your machine

using Infrared, unless they are able to access its Infrared 'Send' and

'Receive' commands on the netpad.
