4.2.4 Securing Your Information

There are no known problems with passing the NETBOOK PRO 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 A Memory Card” on page 56), 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 NETBOOK PRO can be returned if it is
lost. See “Entering Owner and Password Information” on page 51.

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

using Infrared, unless they are able to access the Infrared ‘Send’ and

‘Receive’ commands on the NETBOOK PRO.
