1. Detachable remote controller connector

The detachable remote controller is connected here. You can remove the controller. Connect the optional extension cable (Model 8551B) to extend the distance.

<Note>

The recorder package contains a caddy (without a hard disk). Install your hard disk in this caddy.

2. Controller mount

The detachable remote controller is mounted on the front panel.

3. Hard disk access LED (Red)

This LED lights up or blinks when the hard disk is writing or reading data. (Same as the ACCESS LED on the detachable remote controller.)

4. Lock/Unlock key

When you remove or install the hard disk cartridge, you need to lock/unlock here using the included key.

5. Hard disk power LED (Green)

This LED lights up if the hard disk operates correctly when you turn the power on to the recorder.

6. Removable hard disk cartridge slot

This slot is used to insert a removable hard disk cartridge. This system allows you to replace the hard disk easily.

*Refer to “Quick operation Guide” for more information on how to replace the removable hard disk cartridge.

7. Blank panel for installing an optional unit

This is used when installing the optional Model 9044 (BAY+CADDY). Another E-IDE hard disk can be installed by mounting the Model 9044. Because the Model 9044 must be mounted by the Fostex Service Station, please inquire at your store of purchase or the Fostex Service Station.

8. Power switch

This switch turns the main power to the recorder on/off.

<WARNING !>

Before turning the power off to the recorder, first quit the SETUP mode and make sure that the recorder section is stopped.

Especially, never attempt to turn off the power to the recorder while the hard disk is accessing data (the ACCESS LED is lit or flashing). Otherwise, not only will you lose recorded data, you may damage to the unit.

<Note>

Should this power switch be switched On/Off in quick succession, in some cases it will fail to switch On at all. This is due to functioning of the internal protection circuit and is not a breakdown. Consequently, should such a symptom appear, switch Off power for a moment, then switch On again after waiting 1 or 2 minutes.
