Chapter 4: Configuring The netpad
Securing Your Information
• Regional Settings, to change settings that may vary from country to coun-
try, e.g. the currency and date formats.
• Power, to control how and when the netpad switches on and off. For exam-
ple, you might like it to switch on when you tap the screen, and off when
you haven’t used it for three minutes (see “Power Properties” on page 16).
• Volume & Sounds, to control the sounds that the netpad makes when you
press Navigation buttons, tap the screen and perform other actions.
• Backlight, to change the screen contrast and brightness (see page 30).
• Keypad Assignments, to specify how the Navigation buttons act (see “Keypad
Assignments” on page 31).
• Total Recall, to save system settings so they can be restored at a later time
(see “Total Recall” on page 88).
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.
