▌Precautions on using the recorder connected to a PC

•When you are downloading a file from the recorder or uploading a file to the recorder, do not remove the USB cable even if the screen is indicating you can. Data is still being transferred while the PEAK indicator light (R) is blinking. When removing the USB cable, be sure to follow the description on ☞ page 119. If the USB cable is removed before the drive is stopped, data may not be successfully transferred.

•On a PC, do not format the drive of the recorder. Initialization is not successfully achieved on a PC. For initialization, follow the instructions in the [Initialize] screen of the recorder (☞ page 113).

•If folders or files stored on the recorder are moved or renamed by using a file management tool in Windows or Macintosh, the order of files may be changed or files may become unrec- ognizable.

•Data can be read from or written to the recorder even though the attribute of the recorder drive is set to read-only by the operating system of the PC.

•As noise may cause adverse effects to electronic devices near the recorder, unplug the external microphone and headphone when you connect the recorder to a PC.
