Care of mass storage devices
The Pa300 can save most of the data contained in memory to the
internal memory, or to external devices (like hard drives or USB
memory sticks) connected to the USB Host port. Here are some
precautions when handling these devices.
Internal memory write protection
You can protect your internal memory from writing, by using
the software protection found in Global mode (see “Media Pro-
tect” on page 154).
Precautions
• Do not remove a device or move the instrument while the
device is operating.
• In order to avoid losing data in case of damage, make a
backup copy of the data contained in a device. You can
backup your data to a personal computer, and from there to
a backup unit. You can transfer data from the internal
memory of Pa300 (DISK unit) to a personal computer by
using the USB Device connection.
• Do not leave an USB device connected to the USB ports
while carrying the instrument, or it may be damaged.
• Keep the memory devices or the instrument away from
sources of magnetic fields, for example televisions, refriger-
ators, computers, monitors, speakers, cellular phones and
transformers. Magnetic fields can alter the contents of the
devices.
• Do not keep memory devices in very hot or wet places, do
not expose them to direct sunlight and do not store them
without use in dusty or dirty places.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the devices.
• Regular care is recommended with your devices. Defrag-
menting and repairing internal devices can be made with
any computer utility while the Pa300 is connected via USB.
Possible problems
• Magnetic fields, dirt, humidity and usage can damage data
in a device. You can try to recover the data with disk repair
utilities for personal computers. It is, however, advisable to
always make a backup copy of your data.
