Before using
The unit is equipped with the built-in 60 GB
of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following
points.
* The usable HDD space is generally calculated as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of this
unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024k1,024k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes.
Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller.
∫ Do not expose the HDD to
vibrations and shocks.
Due to the environment and handling conditions,
the HDD may be subject to partial damages or
may not be able to read, record, and play back
data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or
shock, and do not turn off the power during
recording or playback.
If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds,
such as a club or similar venue, the recording
may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording
data on an SD card is recommended in these
places.
∫ Back up data periodically.
The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid
erasing data due to static electricity,
electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures,
back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l 90,
100)
∫ If the HDD experiences any
abnormality, back up data
immediately.
Failure in the HDD may produce continuous
noise or choppy sound during recording or
playing back. Continuous use will cause further
deterioration, and may eventually disable the
HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy
the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc.
immediately and contact consumer support.
(l 141, 142).
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be
restored.
∫ Operation may stop in hot or cold
environments.
If the surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold,
the unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.
∫ Do not use the unit in low
atmospheric pressures.
The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of
3000 m or higher above sea level.
