Handling of the internal hard disk

Do not apply physical shock to this device. In particu-
lar, you must never move this device or apply physi-
cal shock while the power is turned on. This can cause
part or all of the data on disk to be lost, or may dam-
age the hard disk or interior components.
When this device is moved to a location where the
temperature is radically different, water droplets may
condense on the hard disk. If the device is used in this
condition, it may malfunction, so please allow several
hours to pass before operating the device.
Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly. This may
damage the D888.
This device begins to access the hard disk immedi-
ately after the power is turned on.
Never turn off the power while the HDD access indi-
cator is lit or blinking. Doing so can cause all or part of
the data on hard disk to be lost, or may cause malfunc-
tions such as hard disk damage.
If the hard disk has been damaged due to incorrect
operation, power failure, or accidental interruption
of the power supply, a fee may be charged for
replacement even if this device is still within its
warranty period.
