Hi folks ,please can someone tell me if it is ok to transport on gigs the KN7000 with the SD card in the slot ???

What do you folks do ??

regards ..........Giovanni

Don't worry about it...There are no moving parts...

Unlike a floppy which can cause damage

As a precaution, keep your SD card 'locked' when not in use or travelling.

Hi Giovanni
Do you mean will it fall out - well I've never had that happen to me me as it's kind of double locked in...

When The 7000 first came out, I was told to never turn the machine on or off with the SD in the slot. There was a risk of deleting the info.

completely untrue advice!

the risk is switching off while the "write" light is still working for save (a pretty obvious stupid thing to do) and even then the data can be retrieved with the right software in the vast majority of cases.

I did that, Technicsplayer is right.

it's easy to forget... the SD is fast compared to floppy but not so fast it works without power

Hi Audrey,

What do you mean by saying keep your SD card 'locked'?

Thanks,
Doron

the sd card has a switch on the side which prevents writing thus protecting the contents from unintentional deletion. This switch has no relevance when the power is off.

Hi technicsplayer,

Thanks very much!
