Precautions

This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits set
out in the EMC Directive using a
connection cable shorter than
3 meters.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the recorder
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long
recording durations and quick
access to the written data. However,
it can easily be damaged by shock,
vibration or dust, and should be kept
away from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to the
recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not place the recorder on top of
a hot surface, such as a VCR or
amplifier (receiver).
• Do not use the recorder in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (temperature gradient
less than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not move the recorder with its
AC power cord connected.
• Do not disconnect the AC power
cord while the power is on.
• When disconnecting the AC
power cord, turn off the power and
make sure that the hard disk drive
is not operating (the clock is
displayed in the front panel
display and all recording or
dubbing has stopped).
• Do not move the recorder for one
minute after you have unplugged
the AC power cord.
• Do not attempt to replace or
upgrade the hard disk by yourself,
as this may result in malfunction.
