Yes it does. When the weight becomes stable, the digits flashes several times then freeze.

Yes, it locks in so when you set the suitcase down the number is still displayed.

It can be set to re-lock if you choose. That function can also be turned off.

This is one of the big failures of this device. The file system is a Linux virtual volume group. I've been able to read it on Linux but once read, if put back in the ix-2 it hangs. Firmware is very sensitive to any changes. I would not want to trust my data to it.

I have never locked it. I assume that if you don't activate that feature, it will remain unlocked--the same way your phone works unless you've set up the option to lock it and then unlock it with a password. I really love the WD My Book for Mac. It's just like a great memory stick. I have no regrets and I've had it for over a year. My other WD My Book on my Windows computer is five years old and works perfectly. So, go ahead and buy it.

Mine always automatically turns of after a couple of minutes of idle time. But all you have to do is push the power button and it will again take three readings and give you the average.

I believe it writes data to hard drive, so it does not need constant power. I have lost power and unplugged it a few times with no data loss.

Yes, when u switch to the on position it should automatically lock, if it doesnt there may be something wrong with the switch. Just be sure u r locking it completely in the on position.

Yes it is. I have had no issues inserting into old and new computers and reading and writing data.

Each book will maintain its own bookmark upon exit. The FF-RW function works ok, the longer you hold down the button the faster it goes. Books will resume position after shutdown. I have both the Clip and ZIP, with the current firmware upgrade. I use mine exclusively for audio books.

I have found the drive to be reliable over many months of porting between multiple computers. I have no power issues using the Firewire 800 port. I have not experienced any loosening of the port and have used it extensively interchanging between multiple machines (iMacs) as noted above.

It has a hold feature on it, that keeps you from accidentally changing any of the settings. If that's not what you need to know, describe what you mean by "lock" and I'll try again to answer your question.

No. There is no lock/read-only option on either micro-SD cards or this card reader. I would recommend the Elago I,I however, which loads the card in the opposite/USB side of the device. It is more resilient.

Its supposed to turn off, and reset to zero after a period on non use. The top reading will reset to zero, the bottom reading will not, and is cumulative.
