|
|
Hi:
I just wondered if there was a proper way to unplug the magic jack. Normally with a usb device you right click on the small icon near the clock and click safely remove device. I don't want to damage it by unplugging it improperly. Any suggestions? (It has worked perfect for me so far!)
Thanx |

| Some people use the icon in the tray to remove their USBs, most in my opinion do not. I have personally never had a problem removing a USB device manually without using the tray including MJ. Its your call. |

| +1 on that sir, i too wouldn't remove through the tray coz it will also remove the settings, the next time you plug your jack will take eternity once again to use MJ |

| Safe removal appiles to disk and other storage devices that operate on a memory cache, and the process forces the cache to be written to disk making it safe to remove without loss of data. Not required for the MJ. |

| Windows doesn't typically write-cache USB devices for that very reason. |

| If you look at the Device Manager Properties\Policies Tab for the YMAX Disk drive, the chosen Radio Button is "Optimize for quick removal - This setting disables write caching on the disk and in Windows, so you can disconnect this device without using the Safe Removal icon." I believe this flash drive is the only removable storage that is written during a session, so no problem just unplugging. However, using the Safe Removal icon does have the benefit of automatically terminating the MJ Softphone, although I guess that may also happen if you just pull the plug? |

| sometimes if a device is removed without doing the safe removal when it is reconnected it is not recognized. |
