Before using 1Handling of HDD (Hard disk
drive)The unit is equipped with the built-in 60 GB* HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount
of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following
points.
* The usable HDD space is generally calculated as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of this
unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024k1,024k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes.
Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller.
∫Do not expose the HDD to
vibrations and shocks.
Due to the environment and handling conditions,
the HDD may be subject to partial damages or
may not be able to read, record, and play back
data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or
shock, and do not turn off the power during
recording or playback.
If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds,
such as a club or similar venue, the recording
may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording
data on an SD card is recommended in these
places.
∫Back up data periodically.
The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid
erasing data due to static electricity,
electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures,
back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l90,
100)
∫If the HDD experiences any
abnormality, back up data
immediately.
Failure in the HDD may produce continuous
noise or choppy sound during recording or
playing back. Continuous use will cause further
deterioration, and may eventually disable the
HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy
the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc.
immediately and contact consumer support.
(l141, 142).
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be
restored.
∫Operation may stop in hot or cold
environments.
If the surrounding temperature is too hot or to o cold,
the unit is disabled in order to protect th e HDD.
∫Do not use the unit in low
atmospheric pressures.
The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of
3000 m or higher above sea level.
∫Transportation
When the unit is transported, turn off the power and be
careful not to shake, fall, or impact the unit.
∫Falling detection
[ ] is indicated on the screen when it detects a
falling state (a weightless state). In that case,
HDD operation noise may be recorded. If the
falling state is detected repeatedly, the unit may
stop the recording or playback operation in order
to protect the HDD.

HDD access lamp [ACCESS HDD]
A
≥The lamp illuminates while the HDD is being
accessed (initialization, recording, playback,
deleting etc.).
≥Do not perform the following operations when
the lamp illuminates. It may damage the HDD
or cause a malfunction in the unit.
jOperate the mode dial
jTurn the unit off
jInsert and remove the USB cable
jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock
Indemnity about recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility
for damages directly or indirectly due to any
type of problems that result in loss of
recording or edited content, and does not
guarantee any content if recording or editing
does not work properly. Likewise, the above
also applies in a case where any type of repair
is made to the unit (including any other non-
