Please consider that in the case of improper use, you yourself will also be unable to
access your system and your data. Please note therefore the following hints:
●
Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals.
● Some security functions need you to choose a password. Please be sure to note
these passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe
place.
If you loose the passwords, please contact our Hotline/Help Desk. The telephone numbers
