Precautions on using the recorder connected to a PC

Using DSS Player Software

When you are downloading a file from the recorder or uploading a file to the recorder, do not remove the USB cable even if the screen is indicating you can. Data is still being transferred while the record/play indicator lamp is blinking. When removing the USB cable, be sure to follow the description in P35. If the

USB cable is removed before the drive is stopped, data may not be successfully transferred.

On a PC, do not format the drive of the recorder. Initialization is not successfully achieved on a PC. For initialization, follow the instructions in the menu screen of the recorder.

Folder (directory) names displayed by file management tools such as Explorer attached to Microsoft Windows and Finder attached to Mac OS are different from the folder names settable with the recorder or DSS player.

If folders or files stored on the recorder are moved or renamed by using a file management tool such as Explorer or Finder, the order of files may be changed or files may become unrecognizable.

Data can be written or uploaded to the recorder eventhough the attribute of the recorder drive is shown as Read-only by the operating system of the PC.

As the noise may cause adverse effects on electronics devices nearby the recorder, unplug the earphone and remote controller when you connect the recorder to a PC.
