SAFETY FIRST (cont.)

PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive

1.Before installing the recorder

This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive, which is a device to read minute magnetic changes.

The inside of the device is precision-built, which, when installing the recorder, requires you to note the following:

●DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to vibration or dust.

●DO NOT place the recorder where difference in temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or where humidity is high.

–When condensation occurs

Water droplets form on the hard disc or head drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and heads to be damaged.

–About condensation

When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass, water droplets often form around its outside. This phenomenon is called condensation.

●DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling fans in its back may be blocked, or where the recorder may be closed in.

●DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.

NOTE:

The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a malfunction.

2.Before using the recorder

When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc is constantly rotating at high speed.

This requires you to note the following:

●DO NOT impart vibration or shock.

If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded damaged but also the hard disk itself can be damaged.

●DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell phones, etc.) near the recorder.

●DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when the power of the recorder is on.

If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power button before turning off the power.

3.While using the recorder

When viewing a program by selecting HDD (Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag relative to the actual program being broadcast. This is because pictures received are once stored on the hard disk, and then played back. The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn the power on with the hard disk already selected, it will take about 30 seconds before the pictures received appear on the screen. Up until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not a malfunction.
