Your PV Unit lets you set up a secret memory area that keeps your data safe
and secure under a password you specify. After you enter the secret memory
area, you can use the Scheduler, Contacts, Memo, and Expense Manager
modes to store data.
Important!
• You can have only one secret memory area at any one time.
• All secret data for all modes is stored in the same secret memory area,
regardless of what mode you were in when you created the secret memory
area.
• Make sure you do not forget your password! There is no way to look up a
password if you forget it.You will have to reset the PV Unit and clear all
its memory contents in order to clear a forgotten password and create a
new secret memory area.
