Care of storage devices
Havian 30 can save most of the data contained in memory to the internal
drive, or to external devices (like hard drives or USB memory sticks) con-
nected to the USB HOST port. Here are some precautions when handling
these devices.
Internal memory write protection
You can protect the internal memory from writing, by using the software
protection found in the Global > Mode Preferences > Media page (Media
Protect checkbox).
Precautions
▪ Do not remove a device or move the instrument while the device is operat-
ing.
▪ 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 com-
puter, and from there to a backup unit. You can transfer data from the inter-
nal drive of Havian 30 (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, refrigerators, 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. Defragmenting and repair-
ing the internal drive can be made with any computer utility while Havian 30
is connected via USB.
Possible issues
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.
