Model D2424 Reference Manual (Main features/Precautions)

Precautions

•Be sure to connect the recorder to the power supply specified in the Specifications section of this Reference Manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

•Do not connect the recorder to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected.

•If you use the recorder in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station. You can use the recorder with a power frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.

•It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the recorder immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.

•Do not install the recorder in locations subject to the following:

*Extremely high or low temperature, or significant changes in temperature.

*Excessive humidity or dust.

*Excessive changes in power supply voltage.

*Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking surfaces.

*Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or speaker).

•If you move the recorder from a place with an excessively low temperature to a warm place, or if you use the recorder in a room in which the temperature varies significantly during winter, condensation may occur on the hard disk or other parts. In such cases, leave the recorder for about an hour in the new location before you turn on the power.

•To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the recorder, avoid contact with water or other liquids, or do not handle the power plug while your hands are wet.

•To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the recorder, do not remove the main unit cover or reach the inside the unit.

•Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such aspins, accidentally enter the inside of the recorder because this may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water enter the inside of the recorder, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station.

•To prevent damage to the recorder, be sure to power on the connected devices first, then turn on the power to the recorder.

•Before turning the power off to the recorder, first quit 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 HD ACCESS LED is lit or flashing). Otherwise, not only will you lose recorded data, but you may damage to the recorder.

FOSTEX is not responsible for the data lost during operation of the recorder.

•Before you change the location of the recorder, pack the recorder in the shipping carton or an impactresistant case. Make sure that the recorder is kept free from external vibration or impact since the recorder is very sensitive to vibration.

Note on repair

•This recorder does not use any parts that users can repair easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service station to ask about repairs.

•Use the packing carton designed for the recorder when you transport the recorder to the dealer for repair or return.

If you have discarded the packing box, try to pack the recorder completely using shock absorbing materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused during transport.
