managerial data are erased. To erase the
recording data completely, connect the
unit to a PC and perform "Full Format".
• The PHU-60K to be used with this unit
must be formatted using the format
function of the unit. Any PHU-60K
formatted with another device must be
formatted again with this unit.
Checking the remaining
time available for recording
The remaining time is displayed in the same
manner as that for the SxS memory card.
For details, see "Checking the remaining time
available for recording" (page 39).
Note
When the battery remaining power of the
PHU-60K is not sufficient, recording is
impossible even if there remains a space
available for recording on the hard disk. In
that case, the amount of remaining space is
not counted as length of remaining time.
When the slot to which the PHU-60K is
connected is selected, a decrease in PHU-
60K's battery remaining power down to
insufficient level will trigger a warning
42 Using the PHU-60K (Optional)
message. An LED on the PHU-60K also
indicates the condition of the battery power.

Restoring the PHU-60K

If an error occurs with data on the PHU-
60K for some reason, the hard disk must be
restored.
If a PHU-60K that needs to be restored is
connected, a message is displayed on the
monitor screen, asking you whether you
want restoration or not.
To restore the hard disk
Press the M or m button to select "Execute"
then press the SET button.
The restoration begins, an in-progress
message and status bar (%) are displayed,
and the ACCESS lamp is lit in red.
When restoration is completed, a
completion message is displayed for three
seconds.
If restoration fails
• A PHU-60K on which an error occurred
may become usable again after
reformatting.
• In some cases, only parts of clips cannot
be restored. Playback of the restored clips
becomes possible again.
