Yes. At least whatever the tablet can do when you push the power button 
and select power off. The battery can not be removed, after all.

In the past I introduced SIM cards or memory cards while fully on, no

My card was not formatted, but the warning is there. If the tablet 
doesn't like the card, I assume it will format it. I hope it asks first.
