Precautions - JVC VR-N900U Startup Manual

PRECAUTIONS

Place of storage and use
■ Avoid storing or using the recorder in the following
places.
Failure to do so may lead to malfunction or breakdown.
• Extremely hot or cold places beyond the allowable
temperature for operation (5ºC – 40ºC)
• Humid or dry places beyond the allowable humidity
range for operation (30% – 80%)
• Places that generate strong magnetic fields, e.g.
transformers or motors
• Places near devices that generate electric waves, e.g.
transceivers or mobile phones
• Dusty or sandy places
• Places exposed to strong vibration
• Places prone to condensation, such as by a window
• Places that generate radiation, X-rays or corrosive
gases
Handling the recorder
■ Do not stack recorders on top of each other.
Doing so may cause malfunction or failure due to
overheating or noise, or lead to fire.
■ Do not block the ventilation openings.
If the openings are blocked, heat will build up inside the
recorder, leading to fire. Do not use the recorder in a vertical
position or when it is placed upside down or face up.
■ Do not place any objects on the recorder.
Placing a heavy object such as a TV monitor or a large
object that protrudes over the edge of the recorder on top
of the recorder may cause it to overbalance and topple
over or fall off and cause injury.
■ Do not climb on the recorder.
Doing so may cause the recorder to topple over or be
damaged. Particular attention should be paid to small
children.
■ Do not place anything containing water on the
recorder (such as a vase, plant pot, glass,
cosmetics or chemicals).
If water gets inside the recorder, it may lead to fire or
electric shock.
■ Do not insert foreign objects into the recorder.
If any metal object or flammable item gets into the
recorder through the ventilation openings, etc., it may
lead to fire or electric shock.
Maintaining the recorder
■ Wipe the recorder with a soft cloth.
Do not use thinner or benzene as this may cause the
surface to dissolve or tarnish. For stubborn stains, wipe
first with a water-diluted neutral detergent and then wipe
dry.
Moving the recorder
■ Disconnect the cables before moving the recorder.
Before moving the recorder, turn off the power and be
sure to unplug the power cable from the electric outlet.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the cable or lead
to fire or electric shock.
■ Do not move the recorder or commence the
installation process when the power is turned on or
immediately after the power has been turned off
(for approximately one minute).
The hard disk will continue to rotate due to inertia for a
few moments after the power has been turned off and
any vibration or physical shock during this time may
result in damage.
■ Wrap the recorder in protective packing to prevent
physical shocks.
■ Handle the recorder with care. Do not subject it to
vibration or physical shocks.
Saving power
■ For safety reasons and to save energy, unplug the
power cable when the recorder is not in use for
long periods.
Power cable
■ Do not use the power cable supplied with the
recorder on other devices.
■ Do not place heavy items on the power cable or
trap the cable under the recorder.
Doing so may result in damage to the cable or lead to fire
or electric shock.
■ Be sure to use the power cable supplied with the
recorder.
Using a different type or damaged cable may lead to fire
or electric shock.
■ Do not unplug the power cable during recording or
playback, or when the hard disk drive is being
accessed.
