2. Push the "Backup" button.
     (It's really that simple)
(To "Restore" your contacts to another phone)\
1.    Connect Backup-Pal to your phone
2.    Push and hold the "Restore" button for  5 seconds
      (Yes, it is really, really that simple)
   
     Detailed Instructions
(To "Backup" your phone)
1) Fully Charge your phone before any operation with Backup-Pal
2) Shut your phone off and then turn it back on.  Some phones may take up to 60 seconds to read information in the phone, please allow one minute before continuing.
3) (If necessary) Select the proper Detachable Tip according to the compatibility chart and plug it into the data port on your phone.
4) Plug Backup-Pal into the detachable tip (If necessary) or directly into the data-port of your phone. (Please see the user manual for your mobile phone if unsure of where this is)
5) Tap the 'Backup' button briefly and sit back while Backup-Pal does all the work.
6) The blinking orange LED shows that Backup-Pal is detecting which phone it is connected to.
7) The blinking Green LED shows that Backup-Pal is transferring your cellular Phonebook from the phone to the memory in Backup-Pal.  
8) The steady green LED shows that your Backup-Pal unit now has a permanent copy of your cellular Phonebook. (copy can be voluntarily erased by holding the 'Reset' button in for 5 seconds with a paper clip or pen-tip).
9) If you missed the final light indicator, quickly tapping the 'Backup' button twice will repeat it for you.
10) Should you receive red flashing codes instead of green at the end of the operation make sure you check the Status Indication/LED light before fully recharging and restarting your phone and trying again.  Please feel free to contact customer service for additional support if necessary.

(To "Restore" or "Transfer" your cellular Phonebook)
1) Repeat steps 1-4 above with the phone you are transferring or restoring your contacts TO.
2) Hold the 'Restore' button down for 5 seconds and release.  
3) The blinking orange LED shows that Backup-Pal is detecting which phone it is connected to.
4) The blinking Green LED shows that Backup-Pal is transferring your cellular Phonebook from the Backup-Pal memory to the new phone.  (Indicated by the blinking green light)
5) The steady green LED shows that the 'Restore' was a success.
6) Did you miss the last LED message?  Quickly tapping the 'Restore' button twice will repeat it for you.

As you can see, Backup-Pal represents a whole new sophistication of "Cellphone Backup".  One-Touch and you're done is the ultimate in convenience and security for your 'Cellular Phonebook'.
