PRECAUTIONS

Hard Disk Drive

The distance between the head and disk that read and write data on the hard disk drive (hereinafter known as the HDD) is a miniscule 0.02µm. Vibrations and physical shocks to the HDD may therefore result in the head coming into contact with the disk, producing dents and scratches to its surface. This will consequently prevent data from being read, and will result in disk crashes if use is continued. It is therefore necessary to handle the recorder with great care.

„Installation and Changing the Location of Installation

Do not move the recorder or commence the installation process when the power is turned on or immediately after the power has been switched off (for approximately one minute) under any circumstances. (The HDD will continue to rotate due to inertia for a few moments after the power has been switched off, and vibrations or physical shocks will result in damage.)

Wrap the recorder in protecting packing to prevent physical shocks.

„Handling

Handle this equipment with care. Do not subject it to physical shock.

Do not unplug the power cord during recording or playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

The hard-disk is a consumable item. Replacement is recommended after 10000 hours of use (if use in a 25°C environment). For information on maintenance planning and costs, consult your nearest JVC dealer.

„If a power failure occurs during formatting of hard disk, disconnection, or when configuring or disabling mirroring, operation of the equipment may be disabled even if it is connected to the UPS.

„Please note that we will not provide compensation for any failure during recording or playback due to defects in this equipment or the hard disk drive.

„Please note that recorded images will be erased when replacing hard disks. Note that there are cases where recorded images may be erased when firmware is upgraded.
