On consumable parts
• The HDD, fan, battery, and BD/DVD drive are
consumable parts that will need periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal
replacement cycle will be about 2 to 3 years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a
general guideline and does not imply that the life
expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on
parts replacement, contact your dealer.
• The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and
normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If
usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the
life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
Precautions for products with built-in
HDD
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe
the following precautions.
Protect from shocks and vibrations
When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.
• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a
type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.
• Never move the unit while it is powered.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, make
sure that the unit is equipped with the specified rubber
feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there are no feet,
mount the rubber feet first.
• Do not place the unit near other devices that may
become a source of vibrations.
Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the
platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the
heads will be in an insecure position. During this interval,
the unit is more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than
during normal operation. For a period of at least 30
seconds after turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit
even to very light shocks. After this period, the hard disk
will be fully stopped and the unit can be manipulated.
Temperature and humidity related precautions
Use and store the unit only in locations where the
specified temperature and humidity ranges are not
exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to
the specifications of this unit.)
When HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure
to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent
further damage from occurring until the problem can be
diagnosed and corrected.
Replacement of the HDD and other consumable
parts
The HDD and battery are consumable parts that will need
periodic replacement. When operating at room
temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about
two to three years. However, this replacement cycle
represents only a general guideline and does not imply
that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For
details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.
Notes on media
Operation with all optical media or USB media is not
guaranteed. Contact your dealer regarding the type of
media you intend to use.
