FireWire hot-plug and screw-lock precautions

Caution Hot-plug precautions

•Although FireWire devices can theoretically be hot- plugged without powering down equipment, we strongly recommend turning the computer power off, before connecting a digital camera to it via a FireWire cable.

•Static electricity or slight plug misalignment during insertion may short-circuit and damage components.

•The physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD (electrostatic discharge), when connected under pow- ered conditions. It is good practice to ensure proper grounding of computer case and camera case to the same ground potential, before plugging the camera cable into the port of the computer. This ensures that no excessive difference of electrical potential exists between computer and camera.

Screw-lock precautions

•Also, all AVT 1394b camera and cables have industrial screw-lock fasteners, to insure a tight electrical con- nection that is resistant to vibration and gravity.

•We strongly recommend using only 1394b adapter cards with screw-locks.
