Back Up and Restore Vocabularies with Settings
You can back up and restore all User Settings, including pronunciation exceptions, abbreviations, and word prediction, and all profiles within vocabularies. As you set up the system, saving a user backup is recommended. You can then restore that data to the same device or a different device.
You might need to transfer settings with vocabularies when moving from a trial device to a purchased device or transferring from your device to a service loaner and back to your device. To get started, go to Menu > Application Settings > System > User Backup/Restore. The User Backup/Restore menu opens.

Note: If the device’s file manager opens, use the Back arrow to close it.
From the User Backup/Restore menu, select User Restore. A restore screen will be displayed. Select the USB drive if it isn’t already selected.
Select the user backup file and select Save. A message will appear:
“Warning: Restoring a backup file will overwrite all user data, including custom vocabularies and settings. Continue?”
“Yes” and “No” options will be displayed. If you choose Yes, a “Please Wait” spinning wheel will be displayed. When the “Please Wait” spinning wheel stops, you may see a screen that shows the following message:
“This backup was created on a device with a different set of features enabled. Some settings and/or features will be unavailable. Do you wish to continue?”
This message indicates that some features that were available on the first device are not available on the new device. If you select the Details option, a list of missing licenses will be displayed. Then you will see the following message:
“Do you want to continue with the restore?”
Select Continue or Cancel.
