Replacing the internal hard disk drive

You can replace the internal hard disk drive with the optional Model EX-HD1 hard disk drive by following the procedure below.

<Note>: Before you replace the hard disk drive, turn off the power and remove the AC adaptor (or battery). Handle the optional and internal hard disk drives gently and care- fully because they contain precision parts.

<Note>: When you use the unit vertically with the front panel down, put the unit on a soft fabric, etc. and fix the unit so that it does not fall down.

Optional hard disk drive (Model EX-HD1)

<Note>: The optional hard disk is formatted when shipped so you do not have to format it after mounting it to the PD204.

1)Loosen the four fixed screws around battery mount 1 and remove the panel.

The internal hard disk drive appears as indicated in the figure below.
