Press <Program>to program the

settings and commit them to the MATE3

internal memory.

Press <Save> to save the settings to the SD card.

Recommendation:1. Program the system first.

2. Then save the settings to the SD card for use or restoration in the future.

NOTE: Saving without programming the system first may result in the loss of settings.

In other words, changes made to settings may not be set in the internal memory and can be lost.

Programming the system commits the settings to internal memory.

Saving the profile to the SD card saves a copy of that profile onto the SD card so that it can be retrieved at a later time if required.
