My gadget isthe latest model! Will someone bother to return to me?
Which is worse? To lose a gadget with no anti-theft software?

With anti-theftsoftware installed in the device, it increases the chance of a returnwhen stolen with alert sends from the thief's own contact numberor IP address.

What happenswhen I lose something?
If you have pre-installed the Anti-theft software in your device, youcan wait for the SMS text or the email alert.

How doesBAK2u know what items are mine?
When you activate the BAK2u service on our website, you register yourcontacts to the device.

Why don't Ijust write my name on my valuable items?
Why compromise your personal information which you have no idea onwhose hands they fall into?

How do I knowif the software works?
PhoneBAK - When the finder replaced theowner's SIM cardwithhis, PhoneBAK will silently send a SMS to the pre-defined mobile phonenumber.

It is important to test out the pre-defined local number by simplyinterchanging with another SIM card first before actual use.

Phoenix- When the finder did not enter the correct password upon connecting tothe internet, it will silently send an email to the pre-defined emailaddresss (twitter). There is a testing button on the setup for owner totest the email.

How do Iinstall the software?
There is a step-by-step installation guide included. Do not skip thatguide! Some common mistakes made are entering the activation pin intothe program (PhoneBAK series) instead of at the respective activation page .

Ineed to log into theWindow/Mac Operating System first before I can access the laptop.Otherwise the anti-theft software will not be triggered withoutinternet connection. How do I work around it?
If you areusing Windows/Mac authentication for login, you can setup a dummyaccount (with administrative privileges). Do not put any password inthat account.

Install Phoenix and configure the settingsin that account. This will allow the thief to login to the systemwithout any windows based authentication. Once the thief is logged intothe dummy account, Phoenix will be triggered.

Arethere anytechnical or local support?
BAK2u has presence in Singapore and various countries through our partners to provide thenecessary supports, including documents for owners to report to policefor non-recoverable cases too.

Can I use thesame program for any other devices?
Each copy of anti-theft program is licensed to only 01 registereddevice. It is therefore non-transferable.

Who willrecover the lost device?
As the device has been pre-configured with contact numbers, thereceiver of the alert can contact the finder directly and make thenecessary arrangement or can report to the police to be dealt with too.

How wouldBAK2u deal with non-recoverable cases?
Refer to the police in the event when the finder does not want toreturn the phone. Save the SMS alert received as evidence of the theft.

In the event, that there is no sms received to the pre-defined mobilenumber after the phone is lost, the device could have been lost and notfound.
