Q. When getting my firmware upgraded, or when resetting a device using restore to factory settings codes, it is useful to be able to back up the internal memory of my device. How can I do this?

A. In some instances it may be necessary to reset your phone.

You can backup the internal memory of your phone to your memory card using the Memory application. This is usually found under the Extras or Tool Folder on the main Application Screen of your phone. In the Memory application's Option Menu is the Backup Phone Mem. option, this will backup your internal memory to the memory card. You can restore a backup by choosing Restore From Card.

Backup:

  1. Either Menu > Extras > Memory
    or Menu > Tools > Memory
    TIP: The icons for the Memory application is usally a picture of a memory card.

  2. Choose Options > Backup Phone Mem. from the left hand softkey. This will backup up your memory following a confirmation screen.

Restore:

  1. Either Menu > Extras > Memory
    or Menu > Tools > Memory
    TIP: The icons for the Memory application is usally a picture of a memory card.

  2. Choose Options > Restore From Card from the left hand softkey. This will backup up your memory following a confirmation screen.
    TIP: This option will only appear if you have already performed a backup.
