Page 114 [Share Disk] button Connect the PR-80 to the network through the computer. Connect using the host name you set on the PR-80. For more-detailed instructions about making these connections, refer to the documentation for your computer. If you're using Mac OS X, you can use "smb://unit's_host_name/IMPORT/" to access the unit.
Page 115 This is convenient when you're using the Scheduler feature (p. 86). You can have the PR-80's time adjusted automatically at startup or at the time set in the Scheduler. We recommend never connecting the PR-80 directly to the Internet. Make sure you have a separate NTP server ready.
