How should the recorder be disconnected from a Windows computer?

Any USB device should be disconnected from a Windows→ computer using the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon located in the Taskbar in the lower right corner of the Desktop screen. The icon features a green arrow suspended above a device and pointing to the lower left.

Any open files should be closed before starting the disconnect process. Simply removing the device from the USB port without using the recommended disconnect procedure can result in corruption of files or firmware.

Double-clicking on the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon opens a dialog box to shut down the USB connection so that the device can be safely disconnected. Select the device to be disconnected by clicking once on its name, and then click on the [Stop] button.

Clicking on the [Stop] button launches another dialog box to confirm the devices that are to be stopped. Clicking the [OK] button closes the USB connection.

The desktop screen will display a message balloon above the taskbar indicating that it is safe to disconnect the hardware.
