Precautions
Hard disk drive precautions
The hard disk has a high storage density which
enables long recording duration 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 allow the recorder to receive a strong
shock.
• Do not place the recorder in a location subject to
mechanical vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not move the recorder with its main power
cord connected, or any other cords.
• Do not use the recorder in a place subject to
extreme changes in temperature (temperature
gradient greater than 10° C/hour).
• Do not attempt to change the hard disk. This
may result in a malfunction and will void your
warranty.
• You cannot recover lost data if the hard disk is
damaged. It is recommended that you use the hard
disk as a temporary storage space and dub
important data to a DVD or VCR for backup. Note
that any recordings made cannot be compensated
for should the hard disk drive malfunction.
CAUTION: Unplug the AC power cord from
the outlet and then wait 30 seconds before
moving the HD DVR in any way. The HD
DVR can record programming even when in
power off/standby mode and the spinning
hard drive could be damaged by movement.
