S9 Data Card

S9 Data Card
I am having a problem with my S9 data card. I have an Apple and used it with the SleepyHead software. SleepyHead advises you lock the card when using with an Apple computer. I downloaded my data and unlocked the card. When I inserted the data card back into the Autoset it says my card is still locked. any suggestions?

I thought I was the only one with that problem. I would lock and unlock and insert into the machine 5 or 10 times before the machine would believe it was unlocked. Very frustrating and one of the reasons I am getting a new machine.

The slider on the data card does not lock or unlock the card. It is just a tab that can be moved into the lock or unlock position. The tab mechanically activates a microswitch in the card reader and that microswitch determines whether the card reader is write-enabled or not.

Your card reader microswitch might be on the edge of tolerance. Jiggling the card from side to side might trigger the microswitch. Alternately, a thin film of cement on the edge of the card slider might make it work more reliably.

Also, some cards have a loose slider.

Merely inserting them can cause enough friction to move it to the locked position.

High quality 'scotch' tape works, if you are careful, to hold the slider in the right position.

I'd not get another machine. I'd get another card.

RE: S9 Data Card
Can any SD card be used, or does the place that supplied me the machine have to provide a specific one? I'm retired military and can get a 1 GB SD cheaper than my CPAP supplier will charge Medicare, which is a laugh.
