Hello Chanelle, and welcome to the list.
First of all, what are your versions of both units? If they are
the same versions, you can do what you want. The one you want to
copy is the address.cdb file. I would copy it to a compact flash
card. Then, from main Menu, press F, M. At your drive prompt,
go to the compact flash card. If it is in "none", press Enter.
Space once to get to the "list of files" prompt. Press Space
with X until you see "hidden files." Go to the address.cdb file
and press Enter. Then, go to the Keylist file. You may get
"file already exists, replace? You would press Y for yes. There
is a chance that this file will protect itself. To check it out,
go to the address list. If you get "access is denied", you'll
know it is protected: Then, you would go to Main menu. Press F
for file. P for protect. You'll see "protect file on which
drive?" You'll go to the Flash drive, and to the Keylist file.
Again, press Enter. Space once to get to the "list of files"
prompt. Press Space with X until you see "hidden files." When
you see address.cdb, press Enter. It will tell you that the file
is protected. Press U to unprotect.
As far as the dictionary, it will not work on the PK, unless
you purchased another dictionary. It only works with the product
key it was purchased under.
Blessings to you, and again, welcome. Hope some of this made
sense.

Subject: [Braillenote] backing up addresses from BrailleNote
Classic to PKand Oxford Dictionary
Dear list members,
My name is Chanelle, and I am new to this list and the
BrailleNote PK,
which I received yesterday. I have been using the BrailleNote
classic
for six years. I would like to copy my address list from my old
BrailleNote classic to the PK. I tried copying the address
list.cdb
and address list.klt files into the keylist directory on the PK's
flash disk. I think that the Klt files are the same on both
units.
After copying the cdb file and attempting to access the address
list,
I was given an error about the file already being created.
Is there a way to transfer the address list? How can this be
done?
Does the Concise Oxford Dictionary work only when its compact
flash
card is in the BrailleNote? When looking up a word while the
compact
flash card was not in the BrailleNote, I received an error about
missing data files.
I would appreciate any answers or suggestions that you may have.
Chanelle
