If you are using Internet Explorer 6 or higher, to backup your
Dominion KX II:
1. Click Backup. A File Download dialog appears that contains an Open
button. Do not click Open.
In IE 6 and higher, IE is used as the default application to open files,

this, you must change the default application that is used to open
files to Wordpad.
2. To do this:
a. Save the backup file. The backup file is saved locally on your

c. In general tab, click Change and select Wordpad.

In addition, if you used a different IP address at the time of the
