PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive
1.Before installing the recorder
This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive, which is a
device to read minute magnetic changes.
The inside of the device is precision-built, which, when
installing the recorder, requires you to note the following:
• DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to
vibration or dust.
• DO NOT place the recorder where difference in
temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or
where humidity is high.
– When condensation occurs
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head drums
inside, possibly causing hard disc and heads to be
damaged.
– About condensation
When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass, water
droplets often form around its outside. This phenom
enon is called condensation.
• DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling fans in
its back may be blocked, or where the recorder may
be closed in.
• DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
2.Before using the recorder
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc is
constantly rotating at high speed.
This requires you to note the following:
• DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded
damaged but also the hard disk itself can be damaged.
• DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or
emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell phones,
etc.) near the recorder.
• DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet when the power of the recorder is on.
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is in
operation, it can be damaged or the data stored on it
may be damaged. Be sure to push the POWER button
before turning off the power.
3.While using the recorder
When viewing a program by selecting HDD (Hard Disk
Drive), there occurs a slight time lag relative to the actual
program being broadcast. This is because pictures
received are once stored on the hard disk, and then
played back.
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn the power
on with the hard disk already selected, it will take about
30 seconds before the pictures received appear on the
screen. Up until then, any operation is disabled. But it is
not a malfunction.
