As you work with data it exists in the device's memory. This memory is called "volatile memory" because it is only active while the device is turned on. When you turn off the device, all the data remaining in volatile memory is lost. To help avoid data loss, save your work to Internal Storage or network storage. Your work (data) will remain in internal storage to be called up when you need it. As long as the internal storage remains healthy, your data is relatively safe. However on occasion, hardware failures do happen. If you experience a hardware failure, your data could be lost. As an extra step to help avoid data loss, back up your data. See "Backing up your work" on page 56 for more information. ❖ Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet.

File management tips
Back up your files to external media on a regular basis.
Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe
place.
As you work with data it exists in the device’s memory.
This memory is called “volatile memory” because it is
only active while the device is turned on. When you turn
off the device, all the data remaining in volatile memory
is lost. To help avoid data loss, save your work to
Internal Storage or network storage. Your work (data) will
remain in internal storage to be called up when you need
it. As long as the internal storage remains healthy, your
data is relatively safe. However on occasion, hardware
failures do happen. If you experience a hardware failure,
your data could be lost. As an extra step to help avoid
data loss, back up your data. See
“Backing up your
work” on page 56
for more information.
Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via external media, email, or download from the
Internet.
