rough alphabetical order, with different file types mixed in the
list. The Name label, above the file list, is shown in red.
This command is the same as directly touching the Name label
above the file list.
Ordered by Type

ordered by type. Inside any type group, files are still in alphabet-
ical order. The Type label, above the file list, is shown in red.
This command is the same as directly touching the Type label
above the file list.

Order by Date
Select this display option to see the list of files and folders ordered
by date. The Date label, above the file list, is shown in red.
This command is the same as directly touching the Date label

Ascending/Descending
Use this command to switch between the ascending (Numbers,
A…Z) and descending (Z…A, Numbers) order.
This is the same as directly touching the red label above the file list.
Each time you touch the label, the ascending/descending order is
reversed.

ences dialog box, and save settings made in the Preferences page
(see “Preferences” on page 264).

Care of mass storage devices
The Pa2X can save most of the data contained in memory to the
internal hard disk, internal SSD-U(ser) memory, or to external
devices (like hard drives or pen drives) connected to one of the
USB Host ports. Here are some precautions when handling these
devices.
Hard disk write protection
You can protect your internal hard disk from writing, by using
the software protection found in Media mode (see “Hard Disk
Protect” on page 264).
SSD-U write protection
You can protect the SSD-U memory from writing, by using the
software protection found in Media mode (see “SSD User Pro-
tect” on page 264).
Precautions
• Do not remove a device or move the instrument while the
device is operating.
• Make a backup copy of the data contained in a device, in
order not to lose data forever in case of damage. You can
backup your data to a personal computer, and from there
to a CD or DVD. The internal SSD-U and hard disk can be
backed up on a personal computer’s hard disk, by using the
USB Device connection.
• Do not leave a 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 Pa2X 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.
