You will need:
- USB stick/drive (also called a Fob) with a backup file on it (copy this from the computer onto the Fob if you transferred it to the computer)
- Plug your USB drive into one of the USB ports on the right hand side of the device.
On the MT4 or DV4, press the grey arrow representing the pull down menu at the top of the screen.

- Choose Setup

- Choose Setup Menu

- Press the Backup Upgrade button

- Select DynaVox Restore

- Press OK

- A screen will appear showing the Backup folder on the storage card installed in the device. You want to restore from the USB stick that you backed up onto. Therefore you need to select the box next to “Show all directories”

- Once the cross appears in the “Show All Directories” box more options will appear in the window on the left. Select the one called UMS_FOLDER. This is your USB stick.

- In the right hand window select the backup you made earlier. In this example it is Jane040506.
Press OK at the bottom of the screen.

- A window will pop up saying Restore in progress

- When the restore is complete, press OK to restart the device

- The restart can take several minutes so please wait patiently
- Once the device has restarted it may check the pages for corruptions. When this process is complete the device should be ready to use!
